This has nothing to do with GDBM. The context is completely lost
because the subject doesn't have anything to do with the real problem,
which as I recall was not finding some word in some field.

Try putting su=1 in the search spec and see what happens. I am guessing
the problem might have to do with your locale and what constitutes
a word, but I cannot tell.
