>Description:
	pwd_mkdb doesn't check for successful writes. Running pwd_mkdb
on a full file system results in trashed *.db and master.passwd
files. This is a severe bug.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Pretty damn trivial. Fill up your disk, build a new passwd
file. Poof! You're screwed.
>Fix:
	After a quick look at the code, it seems that there is error
checking being done for db put operations. Could the problem be in
libdb?
