Thesaurus is a perl script. I don't do much database programming in
perl, but the problem appears to be that the "offsets" database is in
NDBM format, and dbmopen on Linux-Athena does not have the NDBM module
installed.
Both linux Athena 8.4 and solaris Athena 9.0 have the NDBM perl module
installed, so I'm forwarding this to bugs for them to decide if they want
to do anything about /usr/athena/bin/perl.
I can fix the sipb script by running perl from the perl5 locker.
