in thread Perl segfaults: Why?

After digging some more, I think this is a compiler problem, not a Perl problem.

    These are the gcc versions from my previous tests:

    $ perl -V:gccversion # segfaults
gccversion='4.3.4';
$ perl5.8.9 -V:gccversion # OK
gccversion='4.3.3';
$ perl5.10.0 -V:gccversion # segfaults
gccversion='4.3.4';
$ perl5.10.1 -V:gccversion # segfaults
gccversion='4.3.4';

    [download]

    I don't have access to gcc-4.3.3 any more, so here's the only test I can try:

    $ ./perl -Ilib -V:gccversion
gccversion='4.3.4';
$ ./perl y.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
16-1

    5.8.9 still works :-(

    Yes it seems you're right since I don't get any crash with ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004 & perl 5.8.8 on linux
