This is the FAIL report that I keep getting about Attribute::Property. I guess some Perl bug is involved, but before I report one I'd like to know a bit more.

All FAIL reports were sent by machines that use a threaded 5.8.0, so perhaps it has something to do with threading. Attribute::Property does not use threads, though.

The tests do not fail, as you can see: all 176 tests succeed, and then it dies during global destruction. Because global destruction is something internal to Perl, I can't control or debug this error.

If you have any information that could help me fix or work around this problem, or if you can explain why it goes wrong, please do so.

If you have both a threaded and a threadless Perl, please "make test" for Attribute::Property and let me know if both perls failed or only one did.

Thanks!
