Hi, I realized that I can install a 32-bit version of Debian in a virtual box also on an 64-bit machine and that allowed me to find the reason for the failing tests. As you already may have suspected, it was a rather stupid mistake: I had forgotten to pass the CFLAGS Perl was build with to the C compiler when creating the program that determines what format string to pass to pack/unpack. And since the Debian version of Perl seems to be build with large file and 64-bit offset enabled on 32-bit machines, but this isn't the com- pilers default setting, a mismatch between the flock struct Perl uses and what my program thinks it is resulted. This hopefully is now corrected in the new 0.19 version I just uploaded to CPAN.
Thank you for your patience and help!
