makendbm minor, but NASTY, error

[zmailer-2.99.42]

BEWARE! makendbm has a minor error that smacks you upside the head if
config.h has both HAVE_NDBM_H and HAVE_DB_H.  The error causes the
database file (the one that has all your data in it) to be truncated.

That's because makedbm calls dbm_open() for the NDBM support(which creates
the empty .pag and .dir files) and then procedes to call dbopen() for the
BTREE support (which creams the input file).

Diff follows...
