I uploaded a renamed copy of rc3 as rc3u and verified that the same test runners that BINGOS is running that fail on rc4 fail on that too, and the failure did not happen on BINGOS' runners with the same platform and perl version when they ran rc3 last September. The details in the reports that passed in September and failed now show no difference in the perl compile options nor in the output from uname for the OS. It only happens on the the 5.14.x, 5.18.x, and 5.20.x runners and nobody else's runners with those perl versions. The 64-bit/32-bit architecture difference is a red herring: He doesn't have any 32-bit runners with that old perl versions anyway.

The failures still happen with an rc4c-TRIAL I uploaded which has code ensuring that what is passed to tempdir is untainted and uses an absolute path so can't be a Cwd issue, and which shows the File::Temp version is 0.2311 and the File::Spec version is 3.75.

At this point I think I will just ignore those errors unless someone encounters it who can give me access to their machine or a hint that lets me reproduce the problem. I have emailed BINGOS, but I don't think it is worth worrying about anymore. Worst case if someone encounters this in production I can suggest they upgrade their perl to something newer than 5.20.
