My module appears to fail randomly (notice they don't fail on the same test between versions, although it appears to be the same tests within the same version) when calling a function with Error 255. I'm guessing its a segmentation fault as it doesn't complete the rest of the tests once it fails.

I asked Bingos about it (as he is the smoke tester submitting the reports) and he commented that he gets asked about similar problems a lot, but wasn't aware of the cause of the problem (or the solution).

I'm going to bring up an OpenBSD box later today to test myself, but i'm not sure i'll even be able to replicate it (as I have many PASSes for the same configuration in the test matrix). Does anyone have any insight on where the problem might be?

EDIT: Just received a random failure on OpenBSD/Perl 5.8.9
