Not reported by me. Trying to tie %SIG already seems like so much black
magic. I don't have a good sense of what the behavior *should* be when
you throw a local in there, too.
Either way, being able to local'ize a tied %SIG variable is not a
critical feature of this distribution. The test is there mostly because
I'm interested in what the behavior is. I'll "fix" it in the next
release (skip the test for $Config{PERL_VERSION} >= 13), and call more
attention to the disclaimer that users who local'ize a tied %SIG will
get what they deserve.
Best,
Marty O'Brien
