ePerl (and WML) segfaults and dumps core with libc6 (hamm)?

[Anthony Fok <foka@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca>]

Hi!

Is there anyone using the Debian eperl and wml packages?  I have been
experienced the same problem as Larry Gilbert's on my hamm (Debian
pre-2.0) system.  ePerl segfaults and dump cores after it finishes
processing the file.  WML (Website META Language) also calls its own ePerl
/usr/bin/wml_p3_eperl for one of its passes, and apparently wml_p3_eperl
also returns with a segfault and a core dump.

My system is:
Linux lovelife 2.0.32 #1 Sun Dec 14 09:37:02 MST 1997 i486 unknown

ii  wml       1.4.6-0.1      Website META Language by Ralf Engelschall

(Both are non-maintainer libc6 releases, by Joey Hess and me respectively.
<grin>).  WML comes with its own ePerl 2.2.8 as wml_p3_eperl.

Have you experienced the same problem?  Or, have you ever been able to get
ePerl or WML to work at all?  :)  Thanks a lot!  :)
