1.3.4 is not installing with dbm.

I have 6-9 1.3.3 installs working, so something has changed.

I get the dreaded:
lib/DbaDatabase.php:32: Fatal[256]: driver initialization
failed

I tried the local subdir, /tmp etc.

I think the problem is two attempts to create the file:

-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody      12288 Jan  9 19:32
/tmp/wiki_pagedb.gdbm

Adding a debug line in lib/config.php

     30         $this->_dba_open_error = false;
     31         $ErrorManager->pushErrorHandler(new
WikiMethodCb($this, '_dba_open_error_handler'));
     32 print "Zot: this->_file $this->_file, mode $mode,
this->_handler $this->_handler";
     33         while (($dbh = dba_open($this->_file,
$mode, $this->_handler)) < 1) {

I see:
Zot: this->_file /tmp/wiki_pagedb.gdbm, mode c,
this->_handler gdbmZot: this->_file /tmp/wiki_pagedb.gdbm,
mode c, this->_handler gdbm

[pause]
lib/DbaDatabase.php:33: Fatal[256]: driver initialization
failed

ls -l /tmp/w*
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody      12288 Jan  9 19:34
/tmp/wiki_pagedb.gdbm

So I assume mode='c' is asking to create the file.  Since
there are two calls, I assume it is getting the request twice.

Doing diff from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4 show no changes in the
lib/Dba*php files.

So, has anyone else made this work with dbm yet.  Given
this and the error below, I kinda doubt it.




BTW there is an error in the assumptions on startup:

if (ALLOW_USER_LOGIN and empty($DBAuthParams['auth_dsn'])
and empty($DBAuthParams['auth_user_file'])) {
    $DBAuthParams['auth_dsn'] = $DBParams['dsn'];
}


This never checked if 'dns' was set.  Since I am running
dbm, this has no purpose.  The index.php by default tries
to set this.

Versions:
php-4.0.4pl1-9
