Yes, please do submit a bug report, using perlbug. Perlbug will include the output of 'perl -V', and among this output is the C library version number. Without a bug report, the issue is unlikely to get fixed, unless you send in a patch yourself.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem using Linux, kernel 2.4.18-something (for various somethings), glibc 2.2.5, and Perl versions 5.005 .. 5.9.0.
