I see.  So you agree that with the current implementation, there isn't
a reliable way to do what I'm trying to do with DBM?

I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to this, but I'll put it on my
TODO list.  In the meantime, I think I'll just support the auto

file interface is consistent across platforms.
