+=head2 db-hash.t failing on Tru64
+
+The Berkeley DB 1.85 coming with the Tru64 is unfortunately buggy.
+In general in Tru64 V4.* it seemed to be more stable, but in V5.*
+something broke (even though the DB stayed at release 1.85) and
+the DB_File extension test db-hash.t may fail by dumping core after
+the subtest 21. There really is no good cure as of Tru64 V5.1A expect
+installing a newer Berkeley DB and supplying the right directories for
+-Dlocincpth=/some/include and -Dloclibpth=/some/lib when running Configure.
+
+You can also work around the problem by disabling the DB_File by
+specifying -Ui_db to Configure, and then using the BerkeleyFile module
+from CPAN instead of DB_File. The BerkeleyFile works with Berkeley DB
+versions 2.* or greater.
+
+The Berkeley DB 4.0.14 has been tested with Tru64 V5.1A and found
+to work. The latest Berkeley DB can be found from F<http://www.sleepycat.com>.
