I saw this as well (Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.various) and also ignored it for
the same reason (google turned up nothing helpful, either). I *did* do a
little more poking at some point and found that if I

	bmake patch
	rm work/perl-5.8.7/t/lib/warnings/sv.orig_dist
	bmake test

then the test passes. This doesn't make sense to me, but there it is.
