I now think that the utils are innocent, because if I LD_PRELOAD the
SuSE-version of the gdbm library, everything works perfectly. It seems
debian (even in the new sarge release) is slightly out of date with
libgdbm.so.2 (they are using 1.7.3, suse is using 1.8.0).
But as libgdbm.so.2 is old and deprecated, I don't think this will ever
get fixed in debian...

Thanks :-)
