PHP Bug Type: DBM/DBA related
Bug description: Unexpected data loss when opening dba file
Description:
------------
Opening a file in 'c' mode (see example below)
truncates the file!! The docs say '"c" for read/write
access and database creation if it doesn't currently exist.'
I cannot understand that comment at line 658 in
ext/dba/dba.c, as it seems to imply that truncating
the database is necessary for locking it (??).
Reproduce code:
---------------
dba_open("important_data.db", "c", "db4");
Expected result:
----------------
open db (create if doesn't exist)
Actual result:
--------------
truncated db
