Is this on a RaQ2?
I've tried both perl 5.6 and perl 5.005 and cannot get either to pass
all of the self tests. It seems to fail on 't/sysv_ipc.t' on the
semaphore tests. This, I believe, is in turn preventing minivend V4 from
running (which is why we want the upgrade). Is the problem anything to
do with Cobalt's 'special (==broken) libc?
Can anyone shed any light on this .. I've been banging my head against
it for weeks.
TIA
Dave
