I managed to reproduce this on eder.d.o (mipsel) and on my laptop 
(amd64). The test needs to be run several times for the hang to 
happen.

The test that fails waits for asynchronous database event posted by 
another thread.

I doubt this bug is specific to perl 5.18, so perhaps there is no need 
to block the transition? Also, I uploaded the result from a successful 
build to the archive.

dam,
    continuing investigation
