Perhaps I should be a bit more detailed in my report:


----- error page -----
Fatal Error:

lib/DbaDatabase.php:56: Error[256]:
dba_open(/home/alanh/html/wiki/pages/pagedb.gdbm,w): Driver

----- end error page -----

It's not giving me a failover to the "w" in the first place.  If I put
a "$mode =3D "w" right before the "while" statement, I get the same
error except with w's instead of c's in the "mode" line.
