The db file and lockfile were created by exim, running as "mail:mail",
and are owned by mail:mail. The permissions on both are 0640. So it
seems that the 13 error return is something else entirely. Strange. I'm
doing the same sequence of steps that are used by the eqn code to update
the misc hint database, which I assume works properly.
Also, note that the _first_ store into the database works fine (when
Exim has just created the files). It's subsequent ones that fail.
(Doh! I just found the problem. A stray O_RDONLY was still on the
dbfn_open call.... Wonder how it worked for the first record?)
