Good morning.

I could use some help with this problem.

A third person reported the problem in IRC today, and six CPAN testers also 
reported it.  I haven't been able to reproduce the problem or make much 
progress on it.  I sent Patrick a public SSH key off-list, but I haven't heard 
back.  My e-mail may have been caught by a filter somewhere.

Here are the six failing CPAN reports.  Can anyone spot a pattern in them?

It's not a timing problem.  Tests are failing within a few seconds, not after a 
lengthy timeout.  Ignore the elapsed times on the right... dubious results 
don't have them.  System speeds also seem to vary, if the previous test's 
elapsed time is any indication.

Operating systems aren't necessarily an issue.  Neither are they all using 
64bit integers.  Intel processors are a common thread, but they're also passing 
tests in droves.

osname=linux, osvers=2.6.18-1.2798.fc6, 
archname=i686-linux-thread-multi-64int-ld
osname=linux, osvers=2.6.17-1.2142_fc4, archname=i686-linux-thread-multi
osname=linux, osvers=2.6.18-1.2798.fc6,

archname=i686-linux-thread-multi-64int-ld
osname=openbsd, osvers=5.1, archname=OpenBSD.i386-openbsd-64int

It's affecting a wide variety of Perl versions, all of which are also passing 
tests in droves:

Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 14 subversion 2) configuration
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 15 subversion 2) configuration
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 12 subversion 4) configuration
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 14 subversion 2) configuration
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 10 subversion 1) configuration
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 14 subversion 1) configuration

Thanks!
