Subject: Test failures due to hash randomisation in perl 5.17.6
Since bleadperl v5.17.5-518-g7dc8663 your tests are failing frequently. That commit introduced hash key randomization and it seems at least the test t/10-check-by-pocotcp.t is hit by that. Find a sample fail report at: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/903c3f94-319f-11e2-ab47-4bb2a290f8f5 You can read more about the commit at http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/7dc8663964c66a698d31bbdc8e8abed69bddeec3 You may have to run the test several times until the randomization causes a fail. HTH&&Thanks&&Regards,

Thanks for the report, but as I said on p5p I think it is unrelated: first, this test does not rely on a particular order of hash keys of values; second, it is apparently quite fragile and regular fails since two years: » http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=POE-Component-Client-BigBrother-1.00 -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Just as a data point, on linux I can't get it to fail with either 5.17.5 or 5.16.2. With both I just ran 50 tests, all successful.
