Bug description

Full_Name: David Clarke
Version: 2.99
OS: Redhat Linix 6.1
Submission from: 203.28.51.70 (203.28.51.70)

Calling Dbm.iter on a database which has no entries results in
a Not_found exception being thrown. This is contrary to the specification.

It throws the exception in the call to "firstkey", as specified.
The following minor change should fix the problem (see the last line)

From dbm.ml:

(* Usual iterator )
let iter f t =
let rec walk k =
f k (find t k);
match try Some(nextkey t) with Not_found -> None
with
None -> ()
| Some k -> walk k
in
( walk (firstkey t) -- current line *)
try walk (firstkey t) with Not_found -> ()

Thanks
Dave
