Ive been running 22-rc7 on my Sony VAIO with this patch applied since 
July 3,

the only thing wrong Ive seen is that perl ( both bleed and maint )
is failing its time related regression tests.
ie
    rsync -avz rsync://public.activestate.com/perl-current/ .
    rsync -avz rsync://public.activestate.com/perl-5.8.x .

Failed 3 tests out of 1429, 99.79% okay.
        ../ext/Time/HiRes/t/HiRes.t
        ../lib/Benchmark.t
        op/time.t

the lib/Benchmark.t test is hanging, and must be killed manually.

These tests pass on Fedora -
Linux harpo.jimc.earth 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 #1 SMP Tue Jun 19 19:27:14 EDT 
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

thanks
