Okay, this shall be known as the Three Snapshot Day... it's the
same day for me, still.

        http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@21116.tbz
        http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@21116.tgz

(or rsync -avz --delete ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.8.x perl-5.8.x)

This is also the code freeze for RC5, with one exception [1].  Other
than that, from now on only doc patches, or patches that retract a
recent patch.  If you had beautiful patches that were almost ready,
that's just tough.

(I did sneak in the void-map patch as the final big patch.)

Unless someone comes up with a feasible explanation and solution for
the newly failing join.t tests, I will just bluntly remove the new
tests.  Yes, this might be just hiding a real failure.  At this point,
I don't care.

I am also very probably going to drop the de0.t from the maint: the
test has proven itself to be an unportable pain.  I don't want to see
false failures.

[1] Schwern had two patches in mind one week ago, then he quickly
disappeared...  If he shows up within 24 hours or so, and the patches
do not not look too big, the patches can go in.  The other patch was
about MakeMaker, and there is currently a workaround for it, so it's
not urgent, and I need to be convinced.  The other patch was about
Test::More::is_deeply(), and IIRC Fergal Daly knew something about it.

Updates since the last:

             Retract #21096, mostly: I had misexplained the situation
             to Scott A. Crosby.  What would be really bad would be
             being able to see the hash values of hash keys; but seeing
             the seed value while not good for the ultimate paranoia
             viewpoint is not that bad, as long as the users are fully
             aware of the dangers of disclosing the hash seed.
             So hash_seed() is okay.
