| Subject: | Thread-Tie-0.08 fails and hangs during tests on Win32 (ActiveState 5.8.0) |
I have applied the workaround in ticket 2038 (converted all the .pm files to Unix LF format before attempting the build).
I believe that this is a different problem - possibly with different behaviour in the debugger as outside (possible race or timing issue).

and it just sits there until I <Ctrl/C>, when it gives:

Rerunning again using perl5db, it seems to be hanging on test 10:

Unfortunately, <Ctrl/C> does not return me to the debugger, so I can't get a stack trace.
