Subject line says it all.  I just compiled PL14 on our
Pyramid 9825, OSx 4.4c (ucb universe), and after running
'make test', perl had failed on test "0".  First problem
that we've had with the standard test stuff.

After running perldb on io.fs, I narrowed it down to:
	
	printf "1..22\n";

	$wd = `pwd`;

If you single step through the printf and $wd=`pwd`, and
then run the rest of the script, everything passes.

If, however, you (c)ontinue from the start, or single step
through just the printf, then io.fs gets a bus error.  

Ran perl D14 on io.fs and it's blowing up in:
	
	open(fh,'>a') || die "Can't create a";

Any ideas?

Chris
