Yes, it failed [on Solaris 2.3 + gcc 2.4.5, and please don't ask why I
live in the Stone Age =)].  My `perl -V' output is appended below, in
case you're interested.

I did find the fact no one found it before pretty strange; I'm
guessing that the ordering might have something to do with malloc
memory pools or other such obscurities.  I haven't actually looked at
the Perl source to check this or anything, though.
