Subject: make test failed (patch 41) on a SGI Irix 3.3.1

I have just applied patches 37-41 and recompiled without appearent problems.
But when I try and run the test it fails the last test:

	 chmod +x t/TEST t/base.* t/comp.* t/cmd.* t/io.* t/op.*; \
	cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST
base.cond.......ok
base.if.........ok
base.lex........ok
base.pat........ok

[stuff deleted]

op.vec..........ok
op.write........ok
lib.big.........FAILED on test 0
*** Error code -1 (ignored)

Does anybody have any idea what the problem is?
I am working on an SGI 4D/240s running Irix 3.3.1.

Cheers, Russell.
