Invalid value for shared scalar?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Moin,

I got this fail report for Math::BigInt:

	t/biglog............ok 1/66Invalid value for shared scalar
	at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/Test/Builder.pm line 319.
	WHOA!  Somehow you got a different number of results than tests ran!
	This should never happen!  Please contact the author immediately!
	END failed--call queue aborted.
	t/biglog............dubious 
	Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
	DIED. FAILED tests 16-66
        Failed 51/66 tests, 22.73% okay

I have no idea what to make out of this error message, since neither 
Math::BigInt nor its tests use threads or shared stuff.

And I can't repeat this here with 5.8.8. Here is the -V output from the 
failing machine:

All the best,

Tels
