OK, hre is the test error:
1..2
# where NIS passwd
# max = 25, n = 14, perfect = 0
#
# The failure of op/pwent test is not necessarily serious.
# It may fail due to local password administration conventions.
# If you are for example using both NIS and local passwords,
# test failure is possible. Any distributed password scheme
# can cause such failures.
#
# What the pwent test is doing is that it compares the 26 first
# entries of NIS passwd
# with the results of getpwuid() and getpwnam() call. If it finds no
# matches at all, it suspects something is wrong.
#
not ok 1 # (not necessarily serious: run t/op/pwent.t by itself)
ok 2
So that on is not anyone's problem, save that I have to figure out how
to get it to not die...but the situation it reports that would make it
not a real bug is the situation on that build server.
Anyway, once I have the thing building with the non-leaky
thread::shared(3pm) libs, does anyone want to the SRPM (i.e. to host
it).
Cheers...james
