Using dba with the gdbm backend.  Creating a new database and inserting 10 values.  When I go to look at that database using a dba_firstkey() followed by a series of dba_nextkey() calls, I do not get back all the data.  If I ask for specific  keys that did not show up, they exist and have data.  Any ideas?

Can you attach a short, concise snippet of code I
can use to reproduce this please?

Well, it figures that after I open a bug I can't reproduce it.  8^) It does appear to be random, as we never see it in testing, but when the code is being pounded on by a few people at once, it's more frequent.  All the code I have is rather large and complicated.  I can give some senarios:

We use a GDBM file as a log for file transfers.  When clearing the log, we do a dba_firstkey and check if it's OKay to be deleted.  If it is, we delete the key and do a dba_firstkey again.  A lot of times the first few items are skipped this way.

We have another piece of code the pulls "big" (greater than 100 chars) values out of a database and puts 10 of them in a GDBM file.  Again, it occasionally skips the first one or two.  I have some example code, but as I said - it seems to work right now.
