Could you try it with this change (in pseudo diff format): 
 sub abc {
+undef
 }

A bug (new to 5.8.2) causes problems with empty subroutines. Put the undef in there, and see if that helps. I've had to update several of my modules to get around this problem for threaded 5.8.2.

I should have thought about this earlier. The whole thing sort of left my mind already... ;-) Good thing I document my changes... ;-)

BTW, this should already be fixed for 5.8.3.
