problem installing dbi 1.57

orginally posted on perlmonks http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=622139

I've cut-n-pasted it here.....

I'm trying to install *DBI-1.57*
Perl 5.8.8
SunOS cofjora01d 5.9 Generic_118558-39 sun4us sparc FJSV,GPUZC-MM
Here is the error...

t/10_units/04_drivers/01_sysrw...............ok 1/17 +
# Failed test 'flushed 131157 octets == read 66645 octets'

Any Ideas?
