Hello fellow monks,

I have been having a problem converting a program that works on RedHat9 over to a Fedora (5,6,7) system. After the 3rd use of a font, I get a seg-fault. I have a small program that shows this exact problem

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

use Tk;
use Tk::Font;
use Data::Dumper;

printf "The version of Tk is '%s'\n", $Tk::VERSION;
printf "The version of Tk::Font is '%s'\n", $Tk::Font::VERSION;

make_gui();
MainLoop();

sub make_gui {
    # Main application window.
    my $mw = new MainWindow;

    # Create the font
    my @fontopts = (-family => 'Times', -size => 12, -weight => 'bold'
+);
    my $font = $mw->fontCreate(@fontopts);
    my $psubfonts = $mw->font('subfonts', $font);
    print Data::Dumper->new([$mw->fontActual($font), $psubfonts],
                [qw()])->Indent(1)->Useqq(1)->Dump;

    my $phello = sub { print "Hello\n" };
    my $fr  = $mw->Frame()->pack();

    print "Creating button 1...\n";
    $fr->Button(-text=>"B1", -command=>$phello,-font=>$font)->pack();
    print "Creating button 2...\n";
    $fr->Button(-text=>"B2", -command=>$phello,-font=>$font)->pack();
    print "Creating button 3...\n";
    $fr->Button(-text=>"B3", -command=>$phello, -font=>$font)->pack();
}

When I run this, I get a seg fault while trying to create the third button.
Comment out the last $fr->Button command and a 2 button window is created.
If I remove all -font commands it works fine (keep adding more buttons etc).
(WIERDNESS: exiting out will cause a segmentation fault.. REMOVE fonts altogether and this fault also does not happen).

I searched here and on google, and I haven't found anything of help, so any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!!

ps. code updated as per suggestion from zentara
