"Invalid value for shared scalar" in Test::Builder?



With perl 5.8.1 my regression tests for mooix are failing, as follows:

parser->test_grammar.............ok                                          
perl binding->test_basics........ok                                          
perl binding->test_implements....ok                                          
perl binding->test_regressions...ok                                          
super calling->test_super........Invalid value for shared scalar at /usr/share/perl/5.8.1/Test/Builder.pm line 319.
super calling->test_super........dubious                                     
        Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

I don't think this is a bug in my tests, but in perl itself. Earlier comments
in Test::Builder talk about previous "shared scalar" problems, whatever that
is.

        # 5.8.0 threads bug.  Shared arrays will not be auto-extended 
        # by a slice.  Worse, we have to fill in every entry else
        # we'll get an "Invalid value for shared scalar" error
