Thx for the quick replies (also to Ovid). I'll see if we can upgrade to
= 5.8.1, let's see.

Same for the tests diag, overload_threads and sort_bug.
I tried to find solutions for this prob on many newsgroups, google, etc,
however just found a couple of similar reports, but no solutions. Please
find perl information below, I would appreciate it very much if somebody
could help me here, since it's a complete show stopper for my project
currently.
-bash-2.05b$ perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0) configuration:
usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define
usemultiplicity=define
Schwern may have to confirm, but I believe that threads were so broken in
5.8.0 that he decided not to support them with Test::Builder at all. Is
there a possibility for you to upgrade to 5.8.8 (or at least 5.8.1)?
