I had the same problem with Perl 2.? on my 3B2, until I compiled with the
optimizer off.  Then all the tests passed.  I haven't even tried using the
optimizer on 3.0, but all tests passed on this machine without it.

I'm not using sockets here, but the test you describe as failing shouldn't be
affected by that.  I'm pretty sure that's the same test that failed with 2.?
(along with several others).
