I haven't looked at that one yet.
The new test lib/autodie/truncate.t fails on test 3 and then hangs
until it is killed.

I've noticed this too but haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. The
code where the hang occurs looks like this:
eval {
use autodie;
truncate($tmpfh, 0);
};
is($@, "", "Truncating a normal file should be fine");
The first clue as to what's wrong is that it isn't really a "normal"
file that we are attempting to truncate -- it is a temp file with the
delete-on-close bit set. It was opened by VMS::Stdio::vmssysopen from
File::Temp.
The hang appears to be here:

What's hanging is when the END block in File::Temp tries to clean up
by closing the file. There may be a pending write or something.
I think there are really two problems. There is the hang in
File::Temp's clean-up code. We should check to make sure the right
flavor of flush is getting called for something opened from VMS::Stdio.
Upstream of that is the problem that we cannot call truncate on a
filehandle opened with VMS::Stdio. The documentation for VMS::Stdio
says VMS::Stdio ISA IO::File and you can treat its handles like any
other Perl filehandles. So something in the class metadata appears to
be getting mangled.
