Given the rate of Nicholas's integrations, this is now somewhat old  
news, but here's where things were as of sometime last night with a - 
Dusethreads build on OpenVMS Alpha v8.3:

ext/threads/t/free2.........................FAILED--expected 78 tests,  
saw 65
ext/threads/t/free..........................FAILED--expected 29 tests,  
saw 1

These are new and also fail in blead. The watchdog that is supposed to  
only kill a stuck process is definitely not waiting 120 seconds, and  
when it fires it takes out the process from which Perl was started.   
Maybe that's intentional, but it did surprise me the first time my  
telnet session disappeared.


lib/CGI/t/uploadInfo........................FAILED--no leader found
lib/CGI/t/upload............................FAILED--no leader found

The fix for these has been sitting in CGI's RT queue for a few months:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36158


lib/ExtUtils/t/cd...........................FAILED at test 1

Fix has been waiting in RT for six months:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=33813


lib/ExtUtils/t/eu_command...................FAILED at test 21

Haven't seen this before and it passes when run by itself.


lib/ExtUtils/t/Manifest.....................FAILED at test 52

This also fails in blead and I think came in with ExtUtils::Manifest  
v1.54.


For now this is just a report, but I will start investigating that  
watchdog and see if I can tame it.
