Bug#3093: Perl dumps core

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

Package: perl
Version: 5.002-7

The bug processing script on master.debian.org causes Perl to dump
core with a SIGSEGV.

I have the coredump, and can supply it and the script and the data it
was processing.  The bug is quite reproducible.

I *need* this bug fixed *within weeks*; I can't move the bug system to
master until this problem is sorted out, and the bug system is
overflowing both my disk and CPU quotas on the system I'm currently
using.  I estimate that I'll have to shut it down halfway through
June, if current resource usage continues.

I'm using the following libraries:
$ ldd /usr/bin/perl
        libgdbm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1
        libdb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdb.so.1
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.7.10
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.5
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.5
$

These are mainly Debian ones; the libc.so.5 is home-grown on master,
but I've tried it with Debian's 5.2.18 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that
didn't help.

Ian.
