Well, I just tried a bulk-update (70 replace ops on a directory
with ~90k entries) this time using gdbm. This is exactly the type
of modify operation my user management software always does except 
that I modified another attribute this time (the same index though). 

The good news is that there was no index curruption with gdbm! I 
will try a db-3.3.11 version of ldbm now and report back.
