IPC::ShareLite 0.07a test problems

[Christian Gilmore <Ch...@tivoli.com>]

Hey, I realize this problem isn't directly mod-perl related, but I'm trying
to build the most up-to-date version of perl/apache/etc to continue
debugging the problem I'm having with set_handlers() (see other recent
thread). I'm using IPC::Cache (which of course relies on IPC::ShareLite)
within an AuthzCache module.

I'm finding test errors in IPC::ShareLite-0.07a under solaris
2.5.1/perl-5.6.0. Below is the output of a gdb on the test. Has anyone
successfully compiled and tested ShareLite in a similar environment?

Regards,
Christian
