If it ain't broken, why stop using it?

(tiny)cdb if read-only is sufficient.

Maybe this was inherited from sendmail?

GDBM    GDBM does not work with sendmail because the additional
        security checks and file locking cause problems.  Unfortunately,
        gdbm does not provide a compile flag in its version of ndbm.h so
        the code can adapt.  Until the GDBM authors can fix these problems,
        GDBM will not be supported.  Please use Berkeley DB instead.
