IPC::ShareLite's test cases fail when using a perl that is compiled
to use it's own internal malloc instead of the system malloc. A perl
that uses it's own malloc can be identified by running perl -
V:usemymalloc. If the internal malloc is in use, it will return
"usemymalloc='y';". If not, it will return "usemymalloc='n';". I
don't have the output of the make test to demonstrate any more, but
it fails on test case 4 and causes a signal 11 (seg fault) and core
dump on the final test case. I believe this may be due to a bug in
IPC::ShareLite that isn't exposed by other mallocs.
