note 30838 added to ref.dba

trying to create gdbm databases.. after overcoming hours of frustrating difficulties, i manged to get data written to the disk and read back out it but the dadbase file created is always at least 49,000bytes big, no matter how little data i put in. the file also seems to contain random chunks of memory, previous programs i was working on etc -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dba.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30838 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30838 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30838
