Are there any known bugs/fixes to the DBM library that was supplied with
Edition 7?  We are having rather strange problems with an application that
tries to store() records with zero length value components.  When the
program fetch()es the record in question it gets some kind of wierd pointer
(prints as xX in a printf) as the returned value.  This may not be a
*bug*, but is at least inconsistant with the (* shudder *) Berkeley system
that the application was developed on.  Any help in tracking this down
will be greatly appreciated.
