	That's because SunOS/Solaris  ``makedbm''  is not in the same format,
	as is ZMailer's  ``makendbm''

sol:/opt/src/mea/zmailer-2.99.26/utils/makendbm|548$ more makendbm.c 
/* Copyright 1993 - Matti Aarnio, Turku University, Turku, Finland
   This will be free software, but only when it is finished.

   The way the Zmailer uses DBM entries is by using strings with
   their terminating NULL as keys, and as data..  Thus the length
   is strlen(string)+1, not strlen(string) !
*/
....

	Now why did I choose to make it this way, I don't remember...

	Oh yes, I did some rewrite at this utility for 2.99.27 -- it
	does now compile at systems without ndbm, but which do have
	at least the  gdbm  -- make a guess which systems ;-)
