Strange (even if, being anydbm a generic interface to various underlying
modules, you can never tell).

This simple snippet, on my system, creates a 1.2 Gb files and in the process
the memory in not used much (besides for caches, but it doesn't matter):

#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import anydbm

long_string = 'LALALALA' * 1024
db = anydbm.open('/tmp/big.db', 'n')
for x in xrange(100000):
    x = str(x)
    db[x] = long_string

print 'INSERT'
db.close()
print 'CLOSE'
time.sleep(10)
print 'DONE'
sys.exit()
#======================

I fear that the leak is in the cycle on the result of the 'select'. :-/
