BUG-0.0 The dbopen(3) suite supports compression of keys, but apparently I have not correctly figured out how to use it correctly. To avoid the problem of $ORDER / $QUERY getting 'stuck' returning the same values over and over, please patch: File: gum/src/gbl/dbopen/gh_dbopen.c 193c193 < BTREEINFO bt_info = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, compare, prefix, 1234 }; --- > BTREEINFO bt_info = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, compare, /*prefix*/0, 1234 };
