I have a perl program which is called by a shell program(.sh). The perl has many logical entities which are executed sequentially and some of the entities are multi threaded. I am getting segmentation fault in one of the multi threaded entity. The frequency of occurance became maximum after we upgrade the Perl version from 5.8.5 to 5.8.8. So, i tried to downgrade the version again to 5.8.5 to check if it resolves the issue. However, it dindnt. The Segmentation fault is encountered either in thread creation or thread join. The frequency of occurance is maximum only in Production environment. In Prod like and Development environment, the Segmentation fault rarely occurs. Any comment/advice on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
