Yeah, a similar thing happened to me.  I'm running a sun 386i system.  op.dbm
always failed for me, except that after patches 7 and 8 this test started
to loop endlessly instead of just failing.  I had to remove the test in 
order to run the rest of the tests.  I haven't played with it at all to
figure out what the problem is, because it doesn't bother me (yet...).
