How are you determining the length of the buffer you are handing to
ndbm?  The two parts of the key/data are the pointer to the data and
the length of the data being pointed to.  It sounds as though you
might be passing in the wrong length, for example, if you are using
strlen() it would stop at the first NUL character.
