	I've tried installing Perl 5.6 (& 5.005) on a RaQ2 and have come across
a problem in the test suite. 'lib/sysv_ipc.t' tests 10 and onwards fail.
These tests cover SysV style semaphore handling. I think that this
problem is preventing MiniVend V4 from running on the box.
	Does anyone know how to get these to work?

	Regards,

Dave
