Oops, I'm awfully sorry... Some people pointed out to me that I was
supposed to compile dbz w/o the -O option, and this hint was included in
the  notebook/problems....
I must have overlooked this hint, but I did check the problems-file first.
Oh well, the next time I'll be more caucious. By the way, it worked...
Thanks to all who responded to my article, anyway. 
Bye, oli
