[Python-Dev] anydbm/whichdb fix?

[Skip Montanaro]

Folks,

Jack has been having trouble with dbm stuff on Mac OS X since my recent
changes to setup.py and configure, and I am supposed to be shepherding a
test case for the whichdb module.  The two sort of go hand-in-hand.  I've
seen the same problem as Jack under certain circumstances on Linux.  I
reimplemented Greg Ball's whichdb.py patch and would appreciate some
feedback from others who've crossed this bit of dirt in the past before I
check in the two files (Jack, Guido, Barry, I seem to recall all of you
having anydbm/whichdb problems at one point).

The patch in question is at
