Bug description: dba_open locking error with db3
The new locking feature (introduced with 4.3.0) does not work correctly in
default mode "d". Very annoying because it is the default mode ...
Example:
<?php
$d1 = dba_open("c:/www/htdocs/dbfile", "c", "db3); // Old syntax,
specifying no locking mode means mode "d", i.e. same as "cd"
if ($d1 === FALSE) die("Could not open dbfile");
?>
Same problem for mode "w".
It works correctly for locking mode "l" and for suppressing locking via
"-". Obviously the dba_open() function tries to create a lock file with
exactly the same name as the database file - what fails of course.
Tested on WindowsXP with db3, but i think it will fail for every db-driver
(except gdbm) on every OS.
