forward-patch from release21-maint branch:
Make dumbdbm merely "dumb", rather than "terminally broken". Without this patch, it's almost impossible to use dumbdbm _without_ causing horrible datalossage. With this patch, dumbdbm passes my own horrible torture test, as well as the roundup test suite. dumbdbm really could do with a smidgin of a rewrite or two, but that's not suitable for the release21-maint branch.
