For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, perl5.00503 can't seem
to handle the TODO test in t/pmc/object-meths.t.  Here's the result of

    perl5.005 t/harness t/pmc/object-meths.t

t/pmc/object-meths..FAILED test 19
        Failed 1/21 tests, 95.24% okay
Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/pmc/object-me              21    1   4.76%  19
Failed 1/1 test scripts, 0.00% okay. 1/21 subtests failed, 95.24% okay.

The same command with perl5.6 or 5.8 reports all tests succeed.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Annoyingly, if I try to see what's going on with t/harness's documented -v
switch, chaos ensues:

    perl5.005 t/harness -v t/pmc/object-meths.t

t/pmc/object-meths..#     Failed test (t/pmc/object-meths.t at line 62)
#          got: 'debug = 0x0
# Reading /home/doughera/src/parrot/parrot-andy/t/pmc/object-meths_5.pasm
# using optimization '0' (0)
# Starting parse...
# 13 lines compiled.
# Running...
# main
# in meth
# back
# '
#     expected: 'main
# in meth
# back
# '

[ etc.]

So my other question is:  Is  t/harness -v actually supposed to work
and do something useful?

(Incidentally, all of this presumes that I've installed a recent
File::Spec into parrot's lib/ directory -- 5.005's File::Spec isn't up to
the task.)
