Sorry, but the following may not be of much help...

Since I'm the Cygwin Python maintainer, I frequently run the regression
test suite.  I have never had a test_gdbm failure.  Possibly this is
because I run exclusively with binary mode mounts, NT/2000, NTFS, and
ntsec.  What is your setup?  I would anticipate problems with (at least)
text mode mounts and non-NTFS file systems.  I also suggest searching
the Cygwin mailing archives to see if there are any known gdbm issues.

HTH,
Jason
