Andy,
This stringification problem may be a culprit, as we stringify 2 objects to test against in the subroutine which is run in each thread. But that stringification was there before in the old test (1.42), so I think maybe this is a different problem.

Not having a threaded version of perl handy right now (I am home, it is at work), I cannot test this right now. The changes I had made were only to change a few tests to 'cmp_ok' and add test names, which should not affect things. However in the last update (prior to this one), I did change the order in which things were loaded when I converted this to use 'skip_all'. I did not think this would affect things, but without a threaded perl handy and limited knowledge of the details of threaded perl I suppose I should not have assumed.
It is a problem with Test::Builder and threading, and it relates to, I believe, overloaded stringification of objects. At least, that's what it was when I was having a similar problem in WWW::Mechanize's tests and it was using an automagically stringified URI::URL object. I had to explicitly call $obj->as_string and then it was happy.
YMMV.
