the Perl db modules the testsuite is not passed. This did not
happen with db-1, gdbm, or ndbm.
{UD} You are using an outdated copy of the DB_File Perl module. In fact db-2
finally removed the handling of zero-sized keys which was one of the features
tested by the old Perl testsuite and therefore you see an error. But this
never was documented and guaranteed, only broken programs used this feature.
Consequently db-2 does not need to support this feature and instead signals
an error which leads to easier debugging. The DB_File module maintainer
Paul Marquess <pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk> acknowledged this change and fixed
the testsuite so that if you use DB_File v1.60 or later you should not have
any more problems with db-2.
{MK} Db-2 does not support zero-sized keys. The Perl testsuite
tests the support for zero-sized keys and therefore fails when db-2 is
used. The Perl folks are looking for a solution, but thus far have
not found a satisfactory one.

I get segmentation faults when I run the program.
