I thought this had to do with threads... writing a test case that you can
reproduce the problem with should be helpful. Could probably check the
archives to find the discussion about the original report. The issue was with
rand always starting from the same init value under threads. But I'm not sure
how this affects a single interpreter-process.

Looks like so. Hara has failed to respond back to the list and emailed me
privately. And this did solve his problem after he stuck the above code
somewhere in mod_perl.c. And yes, he was running 5.8.0.
