I have compiled perl-5.15.1 and tested with that. The bug is present.

I also implemented your suggestion to add some code to catch the CLONE call. I got:


$ perl -d debugLWPtheads.pl

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.33
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

main::(debugLWPtheads.pl:35):    exit main();

It looks like the package of the CLONE call is moving around, as I reported in my original post.

Also, as it looks like this is a genuine bug rather than a mistake on my part, should this discussion be moved to a different part of the Monastery?
