Okay, it looks like we have confirmation that gdbm is not fully ported w.r.t. text/binary issues. (Its inclusion in the official distribution predated the *requirement* that this be completed -- at the time it was only a suggestion). So, I hereby solicit patches that change open(...., "r") to open(...., "rb") open(...., "w") to open(...., "wb") etc. and fopen(...., FLAGS) to fopen(...., FLAGS | O_BINARY) at all **appropriate** places in the gdbm code.
Thanks, Chuck volunteer gdbm maintainer for cygwin.
