On all my slackware systems i dont even have a /usr/libndbm/ directory, is
this a typo?, it realy woud help to get the correct path here.

'mkdir /usr/local/lib' should get rid of that error message.
[SNIP]
There were no oddities in the output of lddconfig.

Seems ok.

I belive it was i who explaned about md_thread to you, i belive i also told
you how to stop it being started when its not needed.
In /usr/lib you should have a symbolic link like below.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 28 13:51 libndbm.so -> /lib/libgdbm.so.1*
in /lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 28 13:51 libgdbm.so.1 -> libgdbm.so.1.7.3*
and of course the lib itself.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48876 Apr 9 1998 libgdbm.so.1.7.3*
as to your directory;
/usr/libndbm/ containing "libdbm-" are you sure thats correct.?
BTW;
libs do not grow in size.
Are you sure its not a text file being created by some or other
misconfigured program or daemon, ???.
tail -n25 libdbm- will show the last 25 lines.
