I just got a segmentation fault with core dumped
running testdbm. Testndbm tells that dbm_open failed.
I have a fresh installation of cygwin 1.3.2.
It looks as though cygwin perl doesn't support dbm?
Thank you,

sortof. cygwin perl supports gdbm in its native (gdbm) mode, as well as
in its emulation (ndbm) mode. However, gdbm's ndbm emulation has
problems on FAT drives (due to the non-existence of hardlinks). Try
running your test on NTFS drives.
