Bypass the preferred GDBM database library in favor of the
not-so-good-for-Interchange DB_File.

I would make sure you start using MySQL or some other SQL post-haste,
if you haven't already. DB_File is not a realistic database for a
production environment. (For reasons I will not go into, even if asked.)

It is the end for now as long as you always set that in your
environment before starting/restarting IC. 

I am guessing it is not the end forever, for your Perl installation
looks to be bad. That is usually nothing but problems down the line.
It could be that the only bad part of the installation is GDBM, but
I wouldn't bet on it.

The longer things appear to work for you the better the chance you
are OK.
