From the README in the perl.4.0.beta

>If it doesn't say "All tests successful" then something went wrong.

op/chop........ok
op/cond........ok
op/dbm.........FAILED on test 0
op/delete......ok
op/do..........ok

I am using a SparcStation1+ runing SunOS 4.1.1, I have tried gcc -O,
gcc (no -O), and cc.

The test, when run by hand gives:

siren.arc.nasa.gov# pwd
/usr/local/perl/perl.4.0.beta/t
siren.arc.nasa.gov# op/dbm.t
1..10
ok 1
ok 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Has anyone seen this with their Sparc?  It happened when I built
perl-3.0.44 also... What am I missing!!??  I'm new to perl...
