I've been running 100% on MacOS8 (b5 and final) in the last few months
and have run fairly extensive Perl tests without observing this phenomenon.
However, this behaviour is similar to what I have seen on CFM68K machines
when linking GUSI programs with the Metrowerks-provided version of
PLStringFuncs for CFM68K (which is severely broken).
