Note that libqdbm has very few reverse dependencies: * estraier * hyperestraier * tracker * bogofilter and that qdbm author provides a full rewrite of his library under the name of tokyocabinet, with a very similar API, that doesn't suffers of the same limitations (it's currently sitting in NEW). I just sent a patch to bogofilter to support tokyocabinet. I don't think *estraier and tracker will be hard to patch either. Though we will need to release lenny with qdbm and this bug because people will need to have a working qdbm and a working tokyocabinet part of the same release to dump database using qdbm tools and import them using tokyocabinet ones [AFAIK tokyocabinet isn't able to read QDBM files]. So when RMs will go and read about that bug, I'd suggest that it's tagged lenny-ignore for that very reason (unless someones has a better clue ;p).
