>Description:

When trying to add a new record, using perl dbm functions, perl dies
with an error message "Can't write to db reason errno=27."

The file has about 600K records in it and is 1.1G in size.

>How-To-Repeat:

create a db file and start adding records to it until it fails?

>Fix:
	
I don't have a fix.  I had to kludge my software to use 2 .db files.
