It looks like either the most recent change to anything.el or the most
recent change to anything-config.el (or a combination of the two) has
broken the "normal" bbdb actions. For example, if I enter the first
few letters of a contact name and press RET on a selection, I just
exit the anything buffer and don't get the contact details. If I press
TAB on a selection, the anything buffer is cleared.
