in thread perl segfaults when parsing script

That's interesting.
Some cases where I get segfaults:

======= v5.6.1 built for i586-linux, on Linux central 2.4.18 #9 SMP
kurt@central:~> perl -e 'chop foo'
Segmentation fault

======= v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris, on SunOS xxxx 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire
[xxxxx: ~] perl -e 'chop foo'
Modification of a read-only value attempted.
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

    Strange...

    "perl -e 'chop foo'" dumps core on "perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux", "perl, v5.6.1 built for IP27-irix", and "perl, v5.6.1 built for alpha-dec_osf" (except there it also manages to print an error message "Modification of a read-only value attempted." before it dies horribly). Not on "perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris", though.

    I've compared configs, and I can't find anything distinctively different that would cause sun4-solaris to survive.

    perlbug.
