+Unless you've upgraded your DB library manually you will see failures in
+db-recno tests 51, 53 and 55. The behavior these tests are checking is
+broken in the DB library which is included with the OS. You can ignore
+the errors if you're never going to use the broken functionality (recno
+databases with a modified bval), otherwise you'll have to upgrade your
+DB library or OS.
