hi all,

i'm stuck debugging a problem that appeared after this update made it to 
our systems: 
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-January/020856.html

GDBM_File fails simple operation (which works with 1.8.0-36 of gdbm)





could someone with same perl and gdbm confirm the issue via simple 
script below? (would help me narrow down if this is something specific 
on our site or not)

 > # rpm -q perl gdbm glibc
 > perl-5.10.1-136.el6_6.1.x86_64
 > gdbm-1.8.0-37.el6.x86_64
 > glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.4.x86_64
 > glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.4.i686


output of script with 1.8.0-37:
> Adding data to tie
> gdbm store returned -1, errno 0, key "1" at ./t.pl line 11.


thanks

 >>> SCRIPT
#!/usr/bin/perl

use GDBM_File;

my $file = "/tmp/x.db";
my %out;
tie(%out, 'GDBM_File', $file, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0644)
     or print "can't tie $file DB: $!";

print "Adding data to tie\n";
$out{1}=2;

print "Going to untie\n";

untie(%out) or print "can't untie $file DB: $!";
