Guido van Rossum	cf09a3924f	Skip Montanaro: ... I guess in 1.5.2 a new module, whichdb, was added that attempts to divine the nature of a database file. This module doesn't know anything about Berkeley DB v2 files. In v2, Sleepycat added a 12-byte null pad in front of the old magic numbers (at least for hash and btree files). I've been using v2 for awhile and upgrading to 1.5.2 broke all my anydbm.open calls. I believe the following patch corrects the problem.	1999-06-08 13:13:16 +00:00
