I too am experencing "mkpasswd: dbm_store failed: File too large"

I have a password file with 5920 entries.  mkpasswd -v fails after
about 31500 entries.  I am running Digital UNIX V4.0B on a AlphaStation 4/233
with 9r MB of memory.

Does antbody have a clue on how to fix this?  Does Digital UNIX have a 
hashed passwd file limitation below the maximum number of UIDs?
