* Bugfixes

Bug numbers below refer to the tracker at <http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?N>

** Bug #150.
Tolerate I/O operations returning less bytes than expected.  Retry I/O
if possible.

** Bug #151
Gdbm_open now initializes with zeros the memory allocated for file
header.  Previous versions left uninitialized portions intact, so
they contained whatever happened to be in that memory region at the
moment of allocation.  This created undesired security implications.

** Fix handling of NDBM databases in read-only mode.
