[New-bugs-announce] [issue14120] ARM Ubuntu 3.x buildbot failing test_dbm

[Nadeem Vawda]

New submission from Nadeem Vawda <nadeem.vawda at gmail.com>:

The ARM Ubuntu 3.x buildbot often fails test_dbm:

    KeyError: b'0'

The stdio logs also show possibly-related output on stderr:

    test test_dbm failed
    @test_27319_tmp.db: unable to flush: No such file or directory
    @test_27319_tmp.db: unable to flush: No such file or directory

This is printed before the error tracebacks, but I assume it actually
happens afterwards (which is entirely possible if stderr is line-buffered
and stdout is not).
