Summary: Deleting first item causes anydbm.first() to fail

Initial Comment:
If the first item in a database is deleted, the first
call to anydbm.first() after the deletion causes a
DBNotFoundError exception to be raised.

The attached program causes the error on my system.  I
am currently working around the problem by calling
first() after each deletion, enclosed by a try block.

I am using Python 2.4.2 running under Windows ME.

Which backend is this using? anydbm is just a very very
simple wrapper around a bunch of different backends - I have
difficulty believing that they _all_ have the same problem. :)

Confirmed here (Linux, various Pythons).
