Thanks for the bug report.

Some random notes:
- I can't get t/unthreaded.t to fail when running it in a loop (in a
  cowbuilder chroot) for hours.
- The failure in the CPAN ticket looks different than the one from the
  Ubuntu autopkgtest.
- The package has a patch [0] which mentions a bug [1] which also has
  a failure in t/unthreaded.t (which looks more like the CPAN failure
  than the Ubuntu failure).

None that I'm aware of, at least with the autopkgtest-pkg-perl
framework.
And I suspect that the problem should show up not only for
autopkgtests but also during build, at least potentially.

But I note that it builds/tests fine about everywhere we have in
Debian (buildds, reproducible builds, and also debci for testing and
unstable just a few days ago [2]).
