fyi: minor updates for database software

Well, it seems that we did a really bad job of testing one of the
changes in the final version of this code.  If you grabbed a copy
of the code with the intent of using it, please get a new copy:

ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/radb/tools/dbase_960314_full.tar.gz

or

ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/radb/tools/dbase_960314_RIPE-1.0.3_diff.tar.gz

which contains a revised version of dbadd.pl.

My apologies.
