overflow
problem in [42]Storable.
Discussion
Craig Berry [43]raised (test randomization (Re: slowness of
ext/XS-APItest/t/handy.t,utf8.t)) into discussion the topic of
randomization and determinism in tests.
Jim Keenen [44]raised the problem of [45]Scalar-List-Util being out of

Dave Mitchell [46]asked about the status of [47]ExtUtils::Constant.
Hugo van der Sanden [48]suggests optimizing the run loop a tad and
provided a branch with the patch for review: hv/runloop.
