Header may be problematic because of memory align issues. A footer like this is proposed:

05DB  : 1 nibble: version number, 3 nibbles: magic number

We also need to store the checksum, and optionally a timestamp. we can prefix them so the sdb_disk_footer() should do something like this:

928419A4 : timestamp (same as file? do we need it?)
38A0   ; checksum (crc16?)
05DB  ; magic footer

Another benefit of using footers instead of headers is that you can make it grow without breaking the hashtable.
