Thank you. The way upstream publishes new releases doesn't work
with portroach and, honestly, I had forgotten about the port.

In the upstream code, there are two srand() calls, corresponding
to two different uses of the RANDOM variable. By default, $RANDOM
expands to a truly random number. We initialize this use with
srand(). However, RANDOM can also be set to a value, which then
serves as a seed for a deterministic pseudo-random sequence by
subsequent $RANDOM references. We initialize this second use with
srand_deterministic().
You did not try to run the regression tests. I have, and now I'm
looking into the failures...
