I encountered and interesting failure that only appears when I run
prove with --merge on Windows.
This is running in the Padre Stand Alone which means Strawberry
October 2009. perl 5.10.1
Same thing on Linux works well though I have not compared the versions
of Test::Harness.
C:\work\padre\Padre>prove -b t\15-locale.t
t\15-locale.t .. 1/7 2 1 : 3 2 : 2 0 : E r r o r : C a n n o t s
e t l o c a l e t o l a n g u a g e A r a b i c .
t\15-locale.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=7, 3 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr + 0.04 sys = 0.06 CPU)
Result: PASS
C:\work\padre\Padre>prove --merge -b t\15-locale.t
t\15-locale.t .. Failed 1/7 subtests

Result: FAIL
The test file can be seen here:
http://padre.perlide.org/trac/browser/trunk/Padre/t/15-locale.t?rev=9453
or to check it out here:
svn co -r9453 http://svn.perlide.org/padre//trunk/Padre/t/15-locale.t
In r9454 I committed a work-around capturing the stderr using Capture::Tiny
at least for the case that fails.
