The report that was quoted by Ether showed that the smoker had this fingerprint: - HARNESS_OPTIONS = j2 - PERLBREW_PERL = perl-5.8.5 - osvers=3.16-3-amd64 - archname=x86_64-linux-thread-multi - Compiled at Nov 15 2014 04:30:17 This one has also delivered the following suspicious tests: | http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/10bca32a-3386-11e6-9fc5-14bfbd15da07 | Eval-Closure-0.14 | 2016-06-16 | | http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/5145d9c6-3aec-11e6-9fc5-14bfbd15da07 | Class-Unload-0.09 | 2016-06-25 | | http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4cc4ad60-3b04-11e6-9fc5-14bfbd15da07 | Reply-0.40 | 2016-06-25 | | http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/fe856154-402a-11e6-9fc5-14bfbd15da07 | Perl-PrereqScanner-1.023 | 2016-07-02 | Can you reproduce the fails? Does this ring any bell? Maybe if we can identify the reason on this smoker, we have it resolved for all others. Thanks again, -- andreas
