Okay. My concern is that bugfix changes are not tagged as "bufixes" (at least as they come through perl5-changes), so there's a chance you can miss the one when there's a lot of them. (Being more specific, I'm concerned about change #24367 (and also changes #24703 and #24709) that fixes getppid() cache; the change was made before 5.8.7 release and did not find its way into 5.8.7; there's a chance it's not in again if you simply review the changes made after 5.8.7 release.)
