Trying to compile 5.18 RC1 and RC3 on AIX 7, I get two failures during
test​:

I even tried commit d8736f0 as per rjbs'
suggestion in IRC, same issue.

Perl 5.16.3 has compiled fine here, though these tests didn't exist in that
level.

Further notes​: looks like this is being skipped already on AIX 6 due to one of
the other skip reasons.

TonyC posted http​://paste.scsys.co.uk/248134 in IRC with a patch that
"resolves" the issue (by skipping it). I'm wondering if the skip order should
be changed so that AIX 6 and earlier get a more reasonable skip message ("not
implemented" or something).

So this can get a clean test on AIX7. However, the underlying issue, whether
perl or AIX (I'm leaning toward AIX) still probably should be resolved. I'll
have to try to put together a pure C example of this behaviour and see if I
can get it to fail, thus eliminating perl, or not. And, if I can, then to
pass it over to AIX to see if there's a resolution (APAR) or not.

Thanks,

It looks like Tony's patch made it into Perl 5.18.0. I will add this
ticket to the list of Socket-related issues.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

This is fixed (with a skip for the mis-behaving platform), so I'm
closing it.
