I just tried this on a system with 5.4.7-6 and I don't get a core dumpe,
even when trying the following:
>$ export LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1
>$ perl -e 'print sort ("b\n", "a\n");'
>Segmentation fault (core dumped)
What version of libc5 are you using?
>gdb `which perl` core

BTW, you do realize that it is actually the qsort routine calling
strxfrm, both in libc that is crashing and not Perl libraries, don't you?
Perl is at the mercy of libc routines at times.
