Strange...

No, not at all. But then why not simply replace them "import anydbm" with 
"import gdbm"? Anydbm is a bit of a hack anyway, as it can fail in mysterious 
ways if more than one of dbm/gdbm/db are installed (it can load the wrong 
module for an existing database if you're not very strict about your file 
extensions).
