[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]

+Some tests may fail unless you use 'chacl -B'. Also, op/stat
+test 2 may fail occasionally because Apollo doesn't guarantee
+that mtime will be equal to ctime on a newly created unmodified
+file. Finally, the sleep test will sometimes fail. See the
+sleep(3) man page to learn why.
+
+And a note on ccflags:
+
+ Lastly, while -A cpu,mathchip generates optimal code for your DN3500
+ running sr10.3, be aware that you should be using -A cpu,mathlib_sr10
+ if your perl must also run on any machines running sr10.0, sr10.1, or
+ sr10.2. The -A cpu,mathchip option generates code that doesn't work on
+ pre-sr10.3 nodes. See the cc(1) man page for more details.
