Hi, i'm getting into perl and xs, little example work fine, what i'm trying to do is use the festival api in perl, but the program go in segmentation fault every time i run it. Here follow some code, sure someone else can find some mistake that i didn't see :) The xs file... 
......
#include <festival/festival.h>

MODULE = festival_test          PACKAGE = festival_test

void
initialize(load_init_file,heap_size)
                int load_init_file
                int heap_size
        CODE:
                festival_initialize(load_init_file,heap_size);

Two line of perl to use this... 
use ExtUtils::testlib;
use festival_test;

print "\nWrite something you want to be read from me: ";
$txt=<>;
festival_test::initialize(1,210000);

The segmentation fault come on the initialize call, using perl -d, it just freeze. Suggestions, corrections?, thanks
