Subject: make test fails in dblib.t

I have a problem with the make test phase of sybperl installation. I have
been through the FAQ for all the make test problems and also can't see the
matching problem on a search of the net.

Here's the error:

# make test
....

Some system info:

Sybperl version 2.13
# uname -a
SunOS fume 5.6 Generic_105181-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
# echo $SYBASE
/sybase
# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/sybase/lib:/usr/local/mkisofs/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
# perl -V:libs
libs='-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lsec';
# find / -name 'libtcl.*'
/sybase/config/libtcl.cfg
/sybase/devlib/libtcl.a
/sybase/lib/libtcl.so
/sybase/lib/libtcl.a

I've tracked the problem down to the fact that the dbpoll(-1) call in
t/dblib is returning the reason code 3 (which on my system is DBTIMEOUT),
even though I thought that the -1 parameter should make it never time out.
Anyway, changing to dbpoll(2000) makes everything work. Have I missed
something? Can I safely ignore this?

Thanks is advance,

Boyd
