Andreas,

Apparently I have missed Curtis' posting, ...

He suggested looking at the compiler used to build the particular Perl.

...but I have silently affirmed Tony's
in which he said:

  tony> You might want to try testing it under a few different time zones.

That's also my finding. I can vary the number of failing tests by
setting the time zone.

Yes, with your message and Joel's (which came right after yours), I can see that it really is the timezone that seems to cause this failure. That weirds me out, because I really thought I knew what was causing the problem ... and now it seems I have no clue after all. :-/

 There is no reflection of the timezone of the
smoker box in cpan testers reports, so if you do not find the
correlation with different timezones yourself, it would be a good idea
to add the reflection manually, e.g.

   diag "localtime: ".localtime;

or something like that and make another release.

Yep, that's a great idea: andk++. I will definitely add that to my test output for future releases.

Thx a lot!  (And of course thx to Tony and Joel as well.)
