Discrepancy between actual and reported line in Glib test suite

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

On 32-bit Strawberry Perl 5.10 `dmake test` reports an error, supposedly on line 231:

#   Failed test 'value 30 value unchanged'
#   at t/e.t line 231.
#          got: undef
#     expected: '30'

I don't know how things render for you, but for me, the error text occurs on a line labelled "231", which, unsurprisingly, is what Perl reports. What steps have you taken to isolate the problem? Does it persist when you use the version of Glib on the CPAN? Does the problem occur on the latest version of Perl? The latest version of Test::More? As a side note, if you've lost your password, if allelse fails, you can /msg gods for recovering your account.	[reply]

I think I was in the directory for 1.223 for the file, but running the tests on 1.224. I'm all sync'ed up now and ready for help debugging a problem with the test suite.	[reply]
