Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-7etch1
Severity: serious

To my knowledge, this bug only occurs on sparc in an etch chroot,
possibly only when running newer kernels.  I cannot reproduce it with
the sid chroot on sperger.

Running the test manually results in:

(etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$ ./perl
../ext/threads/t/stress_re.t
1..64

(etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$ echo $?
0
(etch)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perl/perl-5.8.8/t$

The point at which the Perl process is terminated (IOW, number of lines
printed) varies from invocation to invocation.

spontini, the sparc security build daemon, is similarly affected:
building perl sporadically fails as well, and it remains to be seen if
we can get it it to pass.
