-{UD} You are using an outdated copy of the DB_File Perl module. In fact db-2
-finally removed the handling of zero-sized keys which was one of the features

-Consequently db-2 does not need to support this feature and instead signals
-an error which leads to easier debugging. The DB_File module maintainer

-the testsuite so that if you use DB_File v1.60 or later you should not have
-any more problems with db-2.
