Bug 6432

I'm not completely sure if this is a test problem or a problem with the perl build, but with the uplift to 5.16.0, the LSB perl tests (modified upstream tests) have issues, which is not unusual when there's a version bump.

Anyway, for IO.t, I get this output, which would seem to indicate there's something wrong with the packaged Handle.pm:

I see the _create_getline_subs subroutine with the comment that it's a special XS wrapper. Is there a piece missing from the packaged perl?
