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!

                         Best regards, Jens
