Whilst I'm aware that these are all fixed now in blead, I don't know the
minimal set of specific changes needed to integrate to fix them, and in
turn whether they have dependencies on things I didn't want to integrate
yet, such as the exit handling macros, or updates to dual life modules not
yet released to CPAN.
On the assumption that not all can be fixed with small, VMS specific changes
(and that I don't have the knowledge to work out what those small changes
would be) I feel that I'd prefer to ship 5.8.8 with an note in the perldelta
that VMS is failing tests, and get everything fixed up for 5.8.9.
5.8.8 is too late already (my fault), and I'd prefer it not to become even
later. I don't intend to let 5.8.9 slip. My plan is not to repeat what
happened with 5.8.7 and 5.8.8, and to re-start merging things to maint soon
after 5.8.8 ships.
