[shelve] What are the limitations? Entering too many data crashes it on my machine!

[F. GEIGER]

Thanks for your response, Martin!

I went for version 3.3.0, because it's the last version offering a binary
for Python 2.1. But things did not change for the better. It even crashes a
bit earlier (about 1500 entries earlier). And one more "(0, 'Error')".

I'll have access to my XP machine tomorrow again. I'll try then version
4.1.1 (binary for Python 2.2).

Kind regards
Franz
