I had been using Tie::DBI in a CGI app I was writing. All was working nicely, but as the project progressed, the script starting segfaulting randomly, usually near a database access (I found it difficult to get debugging information near the the point where it segfaulted. Repeated the query usually worked.

Then I started concurrency testing, and discovered to my horror that I was getting consistent segfaults while two or more people were accessing the site at the same time.

At this point I am well on the way to converting my scripts back to 'plain' DBI, so I am not looking for an answer as such, just wondering if there is some piece of knowledge that I have overlooked.

I haven't submitted a bug report because I have no idea what could be going wrong.
