  C​:\Perl572\perl\win32>dmake   C​:\Perl572\perl\win32>dmake test   ...   ..\lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........ok 1055/1162

On Win32\, dmake test freezes on this test indefinitely. Output from 'perl lib\Math\BigInt\t\bigfltpm.t' doesn't reveal much\, although it does show that several tests before 1056 failed. The most recent one was test 1020​:

  not ok 1020   # Test 1020 got​: '1.0062113803550399197' (lib\Math\BigInt\t\bigfltpm.t at line 136 fail #519)   # Expected​: '1.0062111801179738436'   # Tried​: '$x = new Math​::BigFloat "2";$y = new Math​::BigFloat "1.987654321";$Math​::BigFloat​::div_scale = 20; $x / $y;'

All in all\, these other tests failed​:   696   698   700   702   990   1020

All those tests look like they were minor inaccuracies\, although sometimes they were quite noticeable​:   not ok 696   # Test 696 got​: '29999999' (lib\Math\BigInt\t\bigfltpm.t at line 136 fail #357)   # Expected​: '9999999'   # Tried​: '$x = new Math​::BigFloat "+10000000";$y = new Math​::BigFloat "-1";$x +$y;'

I think this got fixed for Perl 5.8.0\, I'm marking the problem ticket as resolved.
