in thread Can't undef active subroutine during global destruction in threaded 5.8.0

Thank you, PodMaster and submersible_toaster, for providing examples of threaded Perls that don't die when testing Attribute::Property.

I notice that in the archname part of the FAILed tests, these elements are always present: thread-multi-ld. I don't know what ld stands for, but I see your Perl doesn't have it.

"ld" is too short to google for. Can anyone please explain to me what it is? (or provide a Google search query that finds something useful)

Thanks again.

    Long doubles, I believe. It lets your scalars hold up to somewhere in the range of 10**1700.

    Update: Hmm. I don't know where I got 10**1700, but I just compiled perl 5.8.0 for i686-linux-thread-multi-ld and it actually gets up to 10**4931 before it gives up and turns into 'inf'.
