But then Skip checked in the exact change I was going to I think almost 
simultaneously.  And guess what?  Now the darned tests pass using dbm! 
I am going to do a completely clean compile and test again to make sure 
this is not a fluke since the only change was ``cvs update`` for 
test_bsddb185.py and that only changed how files were deleted.

Ah, the joys of coding.
