No, it was not related to that. The code was doing a read-modify-write
of the database record containing the maxids, and for some reason this
confused libdb. I managed to fix it by doing read-copy-modify-write.

Added this as well, I believe it will be a very useful feature. The dump
format mimics the format used by /etc/passwd and /etc/group. The
differences are that the first member of a group will be the group
owner. This information is currently not used, but in the future a group
owner should be able to add/remove groupmembers. And :'s in the group
names are encoded as %'s.

I also modified pdbtool to accept all commands from the commandline.
Because pdbtool used to consider first argument on the commandline as a
file to parse commands from, I've added a `source' command.

For those who are interested, I'll attach a patch against 5.2.7. Greg's
`ids' command to list the current maxids is also included.
