Well, the first thing I looked at in your original message was to make
sure you were using the right version (1.7.3) of the the gdbm library,
because I had major problems when it was linked against the 1.8.0 gdbm
lib. ( pqsurf would crash periodically. You can find out the full gory
details by searching the Unidata ldm users and/or support archive. There
is also a message from Robb Kambic there on how to compile ldm w/ gdbm,
which I'm assuming you're using. If not, I can forward it to you.)

Yes, this was my understanding as well. I just thought it was a strange
default, not for metars maybe, but for other cmds like zone.
