[lug] deny.db message

[John Hernandez]

The zero size of your db file could be the problem.  When I 'makemap
hash' from an empty text file, the result still contains data:

-rw-r--r--    1 jph      jph             0 Jan 30 10:02 map
-rw-r--r--    1 jph      jph          4096 Jan 30 10:03 map.db

You might fix it by running 'makemap hash deny.db < deny'
