This happens (I guess) because in vms/test.com some test spews out the
magic words "Bail out!". Quick grepping shows that onlythe
t/base/commonsense.t does that... and ta-dah, it does that if
neither the DB_File nor any of the [A-Z]DBM_File has been configured.
So as soon as we figure what's broken SDBM_File, we should get past this
roadblock.
