I found one problem at least. Several of the check routines had a
lexically global $info variable because I was lazy when I introduced it
and didn't pass it correctly to subroutines. I'm fixing that now and
double-checking what information is global in all of the checks.
I don't think that fully explains it, though, since when $info is
reassigned when the next package is checked, the old $info should be
garbage-collected. I'll keep looking.
