perl segfaulting (even with LD_BIND_NOW=1)



Now with a newer kernel, apt-get no longer segfaults at all: it is perl
that is segfaulting during the post-installation scripts (install-info,
etc), and always in the same spot. I've even set LD_BIND_NOW as suggested
on the debian mips page (even though I have an R4000, not an R4600).

sgi:~# echo $LD_BIND_NOW
1
sgi:~# dpkg --configure binutils

Could this be related to the perl bug that is stated on the ports/mips
page?

Thanks,
