Re: FAIL ExtUtils-ParseXS-1.99 sparc-netbsd 1.5.3

Hi,

As you might know, ExtUtils::ParseXS is a replacement for (actually,  
just an encapsulation of) the xsubpp script, in module form.  I'm  
hoping it becomes the way xsubpp is implemented in future perl  
releases, making its functionality more accessible to other application  
code.

I got the following failure from a cpan-tester, but I don't know how to  
judge what the problem is.  Can anyone offer some suggestions?  It  
might be just that the test script t/basic.t is fragile, or it might be  
that ParseXS itself is doing something wrong.
