Yeah, I'd assumed (possibly rashly) that the move to IPC::Run was involved somehow, as there aren't any failures in the previous lintian.log and the collection scripts haven't changed between the two versions other than to use Lintian::Command rather than Pipeline. One further observation, in light of an earlier question, which again may be hiding the underlying issue. The scripts use Filehandle->new() to create the pipe to file / md5sum, which is non-blocking by default. Explicitly setting the handle to be blocking makes lintian much happier.
