I had a lot of probles with Graphdefang, because whenever the database grew over a certain size it became corrupted. I solved by changing how the data was stored.

At first a started using YAML to serialize the data to disc. This worked fine, but used loads of RAM.

I then rewrote the database stuff to use DWHDB instead to tie the multilevel hash to a DB_File database. This has also worked fine. And after a while I split the data into two databases.

(What I would like to do is to rewrite it to use DBI, but so far I haven't had the time for that.)
