I just added a patch file to <http://python.org/sf/731501>. It doesn't include any test cases, since that requires an old db hash v2 file present. Is it okay to check in a dummy file to Lib/test for this purpose?

Make sure you use -kb in the cvs add. Apart from that, it would be fine by me - except that I recall that the file format is endianness-sensitive, so you should make sure that the test passes on machines of both endiannesses before adding the file.
