I don't know of a direct test, but parts of the perl testsuite can be
quite effective (make test in the perl build directory). It certainly
found what turned out to be a small bug in arm glibc 2.1 w.r.t. the size of
group IDs, and the system V IPC module's tests attempt to exercise semaphores
and shared memory. However, it's not ideal as one has to investigate
(possibly with ad hoc C programs) whether reported failures are due to bugs
in perl or bugs further down.
