[PATCH] Avoid recursion depth variations across builds
Message ID:
20181227165444.13298-1-bwiedemann@suse.de
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good.

Variations are likely coming from ASLR.

On an openSUSE Linux system, this patch changed
$Storable::recursion_limit
from varying between 14265 and 14267 to a constant 14256

There could be a chance for remaining variations.

Better fixes welcome.
