[ID 20000309.011] 5.6.0 RC1 test failure in Digital UNIX with threads

This is a bug report for perl from jhi@ugli.hut.fi,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

This message has been sent using the perlbug from a successful Linux
build.  The config info has bee nreplaces with the "./myconfig" output
from the failing Digital UNIX 4.0D build.

The lib/thread.t spurts error messages and then hangs indefinitely.

Other than that, all tests out fine.  (I already sent out a "make ok"
report for a non-threaded build.)  FWIW, I have never before seen this
test to fail in Digital UNIX.

This is what happnes:
