--- Begin Message ---Package: libdb5.1-java Version: 5.1.25-11 Severity: important The documentation for DatabaseEntry class specifies that whenever a DatabaseEntry is used as an output parameter, a new buffer will be allocated to hold the result read from the database, and therefore it is safe to keep handles to it. Currently, (when using a cursor at least), the old buffer is not only clobbered, it is not cleared first, so if the previous value read is larger than the current one read, you will get a mixup of the two. See attached sample code for demonstration of this: run Setup to initialize a test btree, then run Good to see what should be read and Bad to see what is read due to this bug.
