** Bug #150.
Tolerate I/O operations returning less bytes than expected. Retry I/O
if possible.
** Bug #151
-Gdbm_open initializes with zeros the memory allocated for file header.
+Gdbm_open now initializes with zeros the memory allocated for file
+header. Previous versions left uninitialized portions intact, so
+they contained whatever happened to be in that memory region at the
+moment of allocation. This created undesired security implications.
** Fix handling of NDBM databases in read-only mode.
