I'm getting test suite failures like this on all Fedora and Red Hat
Perls prior to Fedora 5 [perl 5.8.8] and RHEL 5 [perl 5.8.8] (i.e.
Fedora 4 [perl 5.8.6] and RHEL 4 [perl 5.8.5] and their predecessors all
fail):

Attached patch to skip one test in coretests.pm resolves the problem for
me, but my perl-fu isn't strong enough to understand the underlying reason.

This patch skips a test that causes fails like the one below on all
distros prior to FC5, RHEL5:
