It could be that aio just doesn't work on your system -- or at least aio
as implemented by the author of this test.
If you care to diagnose it further, you could try running the test_26632
executable directly from the command line and see what the output is. Or
you could alter config/auto/aio.pm to output the errors in this case.
However, I'm unsure if it's worth it. You'll might learn a little more
about why it's failing, but you may not be able to do anything to fix it.
