Now I find that not only
do the gdbm modules of python and perl reject my files, but so does a C

libgdbm.
You didn't say how long ago the problem started, but looking at the
files in sys-libs/gdbm I see nothing newer than March 20. Is your
problem newer than March 20?
Have you tried running your test program with strace?
I hadn't done anything with that application in over a year, so I did not
have any way to narrow it down.
As it happens, I had a sudden rush of brains to the head and read the ewarn
message that comes out
when you compile gdbm, to the effect that 32-bit systems may have to
rebuild, etc, etc.
As I suspected, it was LFS-related.
Write it off as a case of RTFLog.
Now all I have to do is discover why an ewarn wasn't emailed to me -- I
thought I had that set up.
