note 9774 rejected from function.dbmopen by didou

Note Submitter: andy@mindgate.net ---- Either dbmopen itself is highly screwed up or the documentation is wrong or doesn't cover all possibilities. I was having trouble with using the dbmfunctions with a hosting service using ndbm as the underlying flat-file database (and most likely Linux as the host OS) and had to do the following to get dbmopen to work: Only use the "r", "w" and "n" file open flags. First do a "r" or "w" and if the file is not present then create it with a "n" flag. "c" does not seem to be working. "w" stands in for "rw". On my Win2K/IIS 5.0 system however, DBM is so buggy as to be useless.
