Certainly possible.

Well, it's been a year... 

It happened, as the PR says, off and on during a year. When 
p5-Digest-SHA
dumped core, neither rebuilding perl nor a system update would make a 
difference.

ISTR I saw the problem on more than one machine, but I am not 100% sure.

Since the hacks.mk addition, I haven't seen the problem again, ever, 
across several perl and system updates. Good enough evidence for me... 
I remember a similar issue with bind9 on sparc, which liked to 
spin-loop with 100% cpu until I built it without thread support.

For lack of perl fu, I cannot comment.
