I'm not sure we've seen that failure before.  Did any previous releases
work successfully for you in that test?  Can you tell us more about your
platform?  (OS, CPU architecture, etc.)

These are the Berkeley DB library self-tests.  That library is currently
only really used for the KDC back end.  If you're not running a KDC, you
might be able to safely ignore them, but they might also indicate a more
systemic issue that could adversely affect non-KDC code.

The "page size 65536: failed" comes from the test script
plugins/kdb/db2/libdb2/test/run.test, if there is a comparison failure
between the expected output and the actual output.  The "dbtest: write:
Success" implies some error condition that wound up setting errno to 0,
which is puzzling.
