FreeBSD 4.9, perl 5.8.3 - all test pass.
I logged into my server at home, which has 5.6.1 installed,
I did a make test and it hangs until it uses all the memory/swap unless
I kill it,
t/01basics.............ok 45/47^C
..just like described in the link below. As soon as I rename the
site_perl/5.6.1 dir, the make test works fine.
