[ID 20000903.009] Not OK: perl v5.7.0 on VMS_AXP V7.1

This is a build failure report for perl from jpeacock@univpress.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.32 running under perl v5.7.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry I was not able to get this sent before the deadline for 5.7.0, but 
I was on vacation and could not do much over a dial-up line.  I have
been 
receiving these "Fatal VMS error" messages all week, but I have been 
unable to get perlbug to work (it kept telling me to run interactive).  
The other part of the problem is my terminal emulator seems to have 
forgotten about cursor keys (I get numbers) when I am remote, so there
is 
little I can do until I get in the office.

I do know that we have a somewhat old compiler ()DEC C V5.6-003 on
OpenVMS 
Alpha V7.1), but Perl itself seems to compile and work OK.  That line in
VMS.C is:

  _ckvmssts(sys$crembx(0,chan,mbxbufsiz,mbxbufsiz,0,0,0));

but I am a gross novice in VMS, so I am immediately out of my depth.  I 
can only offer my system for testing purposes to try and figure out what
is wrong.  If it helps, I did try "SET PROC/PRIV=ALL" before running the
tests (I should have all rights) and it had no effect.
