[adduser has not segfaulted for me yet, but other Perl scripts have]

I also have the latest perl bundles, and I show.

  ~ $ ldd /usr/bin/perl
          libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4000e000)
          libgdbm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1 (0x40014000)
          libdb.so.2 => /lib/libdb.so.2 (0x4001a000)
          libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40028000)
          libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4002b000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40044000)
          /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
          libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400e9000)

What do you show?

The reason that I posted this instead of just emailing Oleg is that I
hope that someone here can riddle me this:

  ~ $ ls -il  /usr/bin/{perl,perl.dist,perl5.00404}
   115161 -rwxr-xr-x   2 root root 492108 Dec  9 20:17 /usr/bin/perl*
   115161 -rwxr-xr-x   2 root root 492108 Dec  9 20:17 /usr/bin/perl.dist*
   114698 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 492108 Dec  9 20:17 /usr/bin/perl5.00404*
  ~ $ diff  /usr/bin/{perl,perl5.00404}
  ~ $ 

Why do I have two distinct copies of perl?
