I'm afraid that I couldn't work out how to make the test smoke viewer
at http://cpanplus.keradel.com/cgi-bin/smoke_db.cgi tell me this
information, but it seems that the last pass was at 19174:

http://www.mail-archive.com/daily-build-reports@perl.org/msg03908.html

And the first recorded fail at 19622:

http://www.mail-archive.com/daily-build-reports@perl.org/msg03668.html

I suspect that the culprit is this patch:

which rearranges the innards of pp_int
