The GDBM tests could not set up the test database: the relevant line is 
this one:

UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #at:put:flag:

and from packages/gdbm/gdbmtests.st you can see that it is sent to a 
GDBM instance:

    cInterfaceSetup [
...
        database := GDBM
                    open: 'test-c.gdbm'
                    blockSize: 1024
                    flags: 2
...

                database
                    at: key
                    put: value
                    flag: 1.    "replace"
    ]

Can you see a reason why GNU Smalltalk could not create a test-c.gdbm 
with mode 666 (rw-rw-rw-) in the directory where gst is run, i.e. 
/auto/home/spi/caos/smalltalk-2.95e/tests ?

Thanks,
