Summary: dbhash __len__ not reliable

Initial Comment:
Python Version 2.4.3
OS Windows XP

When I open a db file in read only mode('r') 
the 'len' method will only work once.  After this it 
will return only 0.  Using anydbm on my windows box 
defaults to dbhash(bsddb).  This only occurs with 
dbhash(dumbdbm and dbm on Unix work fine).  The 
output of the sample code is "2 0 dbhash".

Can you please provide a small test script that demonstrates
the problem?  When I try opening a dbhash database and
calling len(), it returns the correct results.
