Scott gets the getppid test failing with mp2-cvs/5.8.0 but I can't reproduce it. I think this is because RH ships a fake 5.8.0. It says MAINT18379 which dates 27 Dec 2002 (5 months after 5.8.0 was released)

This problem shouldn't have happened since ppid caching was introduced in 5.8.1.
At some point we can't support all broken perls vendors ship.
But this brings us an important precedence of why PATCH_LEVEL needs to be exposed. I've posted a reminder to p5p to get this define exposed. (Gisle has posted the code already(
Scott, this patch will most likely make the error go away. Please confirm that it does.
However THREADS_HAVE_PIDS doesn't exist in 5.8.0 so the patch below is safe to be applied, I believe. (although PERL_SUBVERSION >= 0 is always true, so the #if can be further simplified to #if PERL_VERSION >= 8)
Thanks Rafael, I've simplified it even further ;)
#if PERL_REVISION == 5 && PERL_VERSION >= 8 && THREADS_HAVE_PIDS #define MP_MAINTAIN_PPID #endif
