A fresh check-out of parrot from CVS is giving me a huge number of
failing tests:

This seems to be packfile-related, since the consistent theme is the
error message: 'Constant_unpack: Unrecognized type '' during unpack!'
Also, the bug is apparently related to the fact that I'm using a perl
compiled with -Duselongdouble; if I use the system perl, which was
compiled with -Uuselongdouble, then all the tests pass. [Note, however,
that my perl is 5.8.0, whereas the system perl is 5.6.0 -- I don't think
this has anything to do with the difference, but I can't rule it out].
Other than the above, I'm on a pretty standard Linux/x86 system - I can
provide more details if required.
