Yes, looks like it went in with release 2.1.16 but wasn't noted in the
CHANGES file. But while the patch is present in the 2.0 Release Engineering
CVS branch, there has not been any 2.0 release that includes it. Looks like
there won't be any either, since 2.0 is now historical and 2.2 is about to
enter alpha testing.

Hmmm... GDBM still has stability issues of its own, including data loss in
large databases. Of course the ldbm backend is still supported in the current
releases so people who want it can continue to use it.
