I can now reproduce the problem reported by Cosimo and chromatic. If
instead of running the tests in t/configure/ with 'prove' -- which is
connected to my hand-built (without gdbm) Perl 5.8.7 -- I run those same
tests with '/usr/bin/prove' -- which is connected to the vendor-supplied
Perl 5.8.8 built with gdbm -- then I get errors in 4 configuration test
files:
