Which is fine, until you chance upon something that uses the dbm type
(Solaris, for instance), and you suddenly get foo.db.dir and
foo.db.pag files if you forget to remove the .db suffix to the makemap
filename argument.

(Stock makemap for sendmail 8.11+Sun on SunOS 5.8 does this; just
checked unlike the .db.db test. :)
