>Environment:
System: SunOS fortune-cookie.cam.ov.com 5.5.1 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-LX
Architecture: sun4

>Description:
    The function dbopen() of BSD db conflicts with Sybase's dblib 
    function "dbopen". As long as there is no mix between Sybase
    and BSD db libraries, there is no problem. In BED library, dbopen()
    function is available in ~/db/db.c
        
>How-To-Repeat:
     Try linking something with both BSD libs and Sybase.
>Fix:
     I think what we should probably do is find the generic DB library
     header file that's included by everything that uses the DB library
     (and, hopefully, by everything inside the DB library as well),
     probably "db.h", and do "#define dbopen bsd_dbopen" in it.  That way,
     we'll only have to worry about keeping the change in that one file
     when we upgrade to new BSD db versions.

     So, just put the #define in "db.h" before the declaration of dbopen.
