The X.V11R2 files:
	contrib/andrew/overhead/libmail/dbm.c
	contrib/andrew/overhead/libmail/dbm.h
	server/os/hpux/dbm.c
	server/os/hpux/dbm.h

are clearly derived from code covered by ATT license (despite the IBM
copyright notice on the Andrew files...).

If you don't have an ATT V7 (or greater) source license, you should
(legally anyway) remove those files from your system

Someday, maybe ATT will realize that it won't hurt them to release
these subroutines for public use (like they did with getopt).  (They
haven't been in an ATT distribution since V32. None of the System X
distributions have them) But, for now, they are still covered by
license.
