The new test added in
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/111da7867221d4c747d002c775d64f4cc5c00f80
seems to consistently crash in my OS X boxes:
sh: line 1: 81278 Segmentation fault: 11 /Users/jhi/perl5/perl/perl
"-I../lib" "tmp81276A" 2>&1
Looks like it has already been found to be problematic in FreeBSD:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/e7619ccdfa0f8562897ad922b44837e5f65194e9
Maybe the problem should be fixed before adding the test?
(Adding per-platform exceptions may not be a maintainable solution.)
While in general TODO tests are a good idea, if the test is flakey
and/or potentially resource-grabbing, up to the point of
machine-killing, maybe less brilliant of an idea.
