ext/threads/t/problems.t crashes in 5.8.4

This happens only on a single Windows 2000 (SP4) machine here, and only while
running as part of the full harness.  When I run the test manually, it passes,
just as the full test passes on the other Windows 2000 machines.

The stack trace looks like this (transscribed from a screenshot, but hopefully
without errors):

  S_hfreeentries
  Perl_hv_undef
  Perl_sv_clear
  Perl_sv_free
  do_clean_all
  S_visit
  Perl_sv_clean_all
  perl_destruct 
  RunPerl
  main

The error occurs during the assignment

    entry = array[0];

I cannot access the array variable in the debugger because the optimizer has
put it into a register, but hv itself is 0 at that time.  So it looks like a
race condition because S_hfreeentries explicitly guards against this.  Any
ideas how this could be happening?

Cheers,
