I also hit this under Solaris 2.6 same lprng and gdbm versions.
I hit an infinite loop trying to run checkpc -f.
Running checkpc -f -V -D 3 gave:
[...]

[rinse, repeat...]
Sigh - I guess if things were meant to be simple, they wouldn't pay me what they do...

ARGH...
It has not been a good week.
All I am going to say is 'put a test in a loop for success, not
