I don't have a theoretical answer about the source of the problem; GDBM seems relatively undocumented. But I do have a workaround.
Define your file $voo = "/somewhere/voo"; somewhere before the subroutine call. Substitute the variable $voo for $_[0] in the DBMopenread subroutine -- it is a global variable, so the statement become: $DBREFread=tie %DBM, GDBM_File, $voo, &GDBM_READER, 0644; Leave the parameter out of the subroutine call, just: &DBMopenread; Seems to work. Of course you have to pay attention to the other instances of 'voo' versus the variable $voo. Sorry I don't have a more satisfactory "why," but you can get on with yur work.
