The above URL points to a posting of mine in which I report a
bug in the the test suite, and provide a fix. This fix was
incorporated into the released version of DBI 1.50.

It is the fixed test which is now failing. As the code says,
the purpose of the test is

# basic check that we can fork subprocesses and wait for the status

t/10general.............NOK
1
# Failed test 'system exit 1 should return 256'
# in t/10general.t at line 31.
# got: '-1'
# expected: '256'
t/10general.............NOK
2
# Failed test 'system exit 0 should return 0'
# in t/10general.t at line 32.
# got: '-1'
# expected: '0'

The result of the test suggests that we cannot Fork subprocesses
and wait for the status. 'perldoc -f system' says:

Return value of -1 indicates a failure to start the program
(inspect $! for the reason).

Something is very seriously wrong if system('exit 0;') is failing.

I am afraid I do not have the time to investigate this myself at
the moment, but it does need investigating. A good start would be
to modify the test to print the value of $! after the failure.
