>Description:

X/Open System Interfaces and Headers (XSH), Issue 4, Version 2, and its
successors, define struct datum in <ndbm.h> to contain:

void	*dptr
size_t	dsize

NetBSD's <ndbm.h>, though, makes dsize an int.  This could be a problem on
systems where int and size_t are different sizes.

>How-To-Repeat:
Inspection of the definition of struct datum in <ndbm.h>, and comparison
with <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/ndbm.h.html>.

>Fix:
dbm_delete(), dbm_fetch(), and dbm_store() will need to be versioned.
