Last week I had to reinstall the OS on my desktop, and after
installing Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix (for 'make smoke') I now get
a lot of errors during 'make test' that look like:

[...]
t/library/getopt_obj...........................ok
t/library/iter.................................Option -I not known
parrot -[abcCEfgGhjprStvVwy.] [-d [FLAGS]] [-D [FLAGS]][-O [level]] [-o FILE] 
<file>
t/library/iter................................. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 
256, 0x100)

 No subtests run
t/library/protoobject..........................ok
[...]

The test summary report then has a fairly long list of test failures,
making it difficult to see if we've in fact passed all of the tests.

I suspect the issue has to do with one of the packages installed
as dependencies for Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix, but I'm not exactly sure 
which package introduced the problem.  Somewhat surprisingly,
'make smoke' works just fine [1] -- it's only 'make test' that
has the problems.

Thus, I'm filing this ticket in hopes that someone else can quickly
look at this and come up with a fix or workaround.  Otherwise
I'll have to start uninstalling CPAN modules until 'make test'
starts doing something reasonable for me again.  :-)

Thanks!
