You should probably increase your tmp, the file with all keys is only
3Mb (when produced with showdbm). The current database (8.3Mb)
contains 111,097 keys with one or more file offsets in the flat file
as value. The maximum number of offsets per key is 100, which is
MAXHITS defined in addkey.pl. If there are more than 100 offsets for a
key, all offsets are removed and replaced by offset -1, which means
"too many hits".
