I have linux, I get

Perl:5.008007; 2.30Waiting
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08281410 ***
[download]

Curiously, if I put the second call in a separate sub, it runs error free.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use GD;

print "Perl:$]; $GD::VERSION";

my $cap = x( 100, 100 );

printf 'Waiting'; <STDIN>;

$cap = zz( 100, 100 );

################################################# 
sub x{
    my( $x, $y ) = @_;
    GD::Image->trueColor( 1 );
    my $gd = GD::Image->new( $x, $y );
    my $raw = $gd->gd;
    my $img = GD::Image->newFromGdData( $raw ) or die "$!, $^E";
    return $img->jpeg;
}

sub zz{
    my( $x, $y ) = @_;
    GD::Image->trueColor( 1 );
    my $gd = GD::Image->new( $x, $y );
    my $raw = $gd->gd;
    my $img = GD::Image->newFromGdData( $raw ) or die "$!, $^E";
    return $img->jpeg;
