We got an issue reported by long term Perl user and PAUSE gatekeeper @ANDK, an issue had been observed and was reported via the smoke testing framework available as CPAN-testers.
ANDK had debugged the issue, which is much appreciated, I was unable to reproduce it locally, but @ehuelsmann was fast to provide a patch that we believe fixes the issue.
This kind of bugs are tricky, especially if you cannot reproduce them, but the area of the code pointed out by ANDK made sense, and Erik's patch also made sense - it is a fragile area of the code and it might be related to tests, but we want our tests and main code to be as robust as possible, so we can trust it.
I am not sure this is a real heisenbug, but it does feel like it.
