I'm having difficulty getting perl 2.0 patchlevel 0 to work on my machine.
We have a 3B2/600 running SysV 3.1.1.

Configure runs as expected, and everybody compiles fine.  However, when I
try to run the tests in the t directory, I run into problems.  The base
tests run up until base.lex, which gives me:

1..7
#1	:x: eq :x:
ok 1
ok 2
not ok 3
ok 4
ok 5
7964: terminated with signal 10 -- core dumped

At which point the test script gives up - reasonably, given that the parser
appears to be malfunctioning.

Am I missing some patches?  We just downloaded this from the archives recently,
so I wouldn't be suprised.  (How long does something of this complexity usually
last at patchlevel 0?)

Barring that, would someone please point and laugh at my mistake?
