The only bug I'm aware of that is a "serious" bug is a very small one introduced when gcc 3.3 came out and (properly) began complaining about long, implicitly continued strings. tdb is technically part of Samba, and the tdb project syncs up with the samba project's tdb "upstream" from time to time. However, I'm not aware of any issues with it. Being rather familiar with it, however, if you wanted to forward to me (off list) some of what you describe, maybe I could take a look and figure it out. I also don't have a great deal of spare time, and have a list of things I'd like to work on about as long as the late, great, Andre the Giant's arm. That's a pretty big arm. -- Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep.
