Very sorry about this - yes, the ABI was inadvertently changed by the fix for
bug 140563 – 'Perl not properly supporting NPTL' .

Basically, without this fix anything that relies on the value returned by 
Perl_Ippid_ptr or of Perl_ppid is broken, as this value is invalid, since
the threads implementation uses nptl .
 
Unfortunately, as was found for RHEL-3, this change requires many packages that
rely on the PERL ABI to be rebuilt - see bug 142039 .

So I'm backing out the change (removal of -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS from the configure
command) and generating a new perl-5.8.5-20.FC3 update.
