I get exactly the same thing. If I cd to the t directory and run 'perl TEST' the same thing results. However, if I run 'perl base.cond' in the t directory it comes up ok on all of the tests. The rest of the base tests all work except for base.lex which fails on 3 and 7 and core dumps on 10. I haven't tried all of the others yet. If you, or anyone else, has any ideas, I'm open for suggestions.
