Summary: build problems on DEC Unix 4.0f

Initial Comment:
Building with cc instead of gcc (as recommended) and with configure switch '--with-dec-threads' (also 
recommended. 'make test yields the following errors and messages:

test test_bsddb crashed -- bsddb.error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

test test_format produced unexpected output:
**********************************************************************
*** lines 2-3 of actual output doesn't appear in expected output after line 1:
+ '%#o' % 0 == '00' != '0'
+ u'%#o' % 0 == u'00' != '0'
**********************************************************************

Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on osf1V4.


Are test failures important? Who do I ask "to teach regrtest.py about which tests are expected to get 
skipped on osf1V4"?

the test_format bug is not important; it indicates a bug in
the system's C library.

For recording expected skipped tests, see Lib/regrtest.py.
Search for win32, and submit a patch that records the
expected skips. Alternatively, just don't worry about this.

For test_:bsddb, please run "python Lib/regrtest.py -v
test_bsddb" separately, and report the output.
