Yup, see 
<http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2000-01/msg00014.html>.  
Eric Johnson documented the bug and I'm pretty sure I fixed it but I don't 
think the patch has been tested by anyone other than me.  I'm tempted to 
just drop it into the development release and see what happens.  It is a 
beta, right :-)?
