So you're all bored with me by now?  Me too!  :^>~

I've got PERL 3.0 PL36 all built and loaded with only the acceptable
warnings from GCC.  It's on SCO XENIX V/386 2.3.3.  And when I try
to "make test" I get:

	 chmod +x t/TEST t/base.* t/comp.* t/cmd.* t/io.* t/op.*; \
	cd t && (rm -f perl; ln ../perl .) && ./perl TEST
sh: 7924 Memory fault - core dumped
*** Error code 139 (ignored)

and the stack trace from adb looks like this...

* _strlen(0x1ef6)	from _wait4pid+0x38
_wait4pid()	from _mypclose+0x70
_mypclose()	from _eval+0x83d
_eval()	from _eval+0x46b
_eval()	from _cmd_exec+0x1281
_cmd_exec()	from _cmd_exec+0x1690
_cmd_exec(0x1894054, 0x0, 0xffffffff)	from _main+0x1490
_main(0x2, 0x187eb94, 0x187eba0)	from __start+0x39
__start()	from start0+0xc
* 

HELP!  Please!  I love PERL, and am distraught by these problems after
installing the Patch 29-36 (sort of 4.0) stuff.  Sigh.
