I just snagged a copy to try to build under Simh.  It wouldn't build
with MMS.  I tried again using MMK but it got hung compiling
Ext/Digest/Sha/Sha.c.  It grew to consume all available working set and
then went totally CPU bound - no IO, no faults, nothing, just compute. 
Stayed that way for about an hour before I killed it.  I just started
another build after removing Digest::Sha from the list of builtins.
