It never fails (bsddb retirement in 2.3)

Thank you Skip -- the new information in highlights.html could have
averted this entire thread! :^)

Just FYI, I did some experimentation with anydbm, and under 2.3b1 it
fails because it eventually attempts to import _bsddb. If I explicitly
import dbm, the tests work for both 2.2.2 and 2.3b1... but the actual
programs would require additional kludges as the basic dbm library
creates .pag and .dir files, and I do a little dancing around to avoid
multiple invocations trying to create up-to-date database files.
