Right.  There's no undo in the bbdb GUI (*BBDB* buffer).  When I screw
that up (perhaps by adding a field to the wrong record, or deleting a
record I want to keep), I just kill the buffer, whether I've saved it
or not, switch to the .bbdb buffer and undo to my heart's content.
Save it when it's back to where I want it (it's not *that* unreadable)
and rerun M-x bbdb.  Adding undo to the GUI buffer is not trivial
since one would have to track changes in the display as well as
changes to the actual .bbdb and correlate the two.
