I just ran the test listed in this deb bug report code using perl 5.8.4 and got a seg fault. I'm confused - I read in a few places that this was no longer a problem? I wanted to run Interchange with stock debian perl code if I can, but I don't understand if this is still an issue?

This bug is getting close to 2 years old -seems like perl should default to non threaded or this bug should get fixed?

I ran the test code listed here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=203579

and got a seg fault with the testing version of perl.

But this:

http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2003/01/16/whatsnew.html

--seems to imply that it is fixed????? (see under the "Perl Threads" section.)

Has anyone in perl upstream ever looked at this?:

Is this the same bug that causes problems in the debian interchange package?

I would like to recreate the perl thread bug in interchange?
