What do you mean by CRT?

CRT == C RunTime libraries.

Presumably all the versions of perl you tested were built using GCC and its runtime libraries? If those libraries have a bug they could be affecting all the versions you've tried.

Another, and possibly more likely candidate is that the PERLIO implementation for unix/POSIX platforms has a bug that doesn't manifest itself in the MSWIN branches of the source tree.

Two things that you could try--if you have the inclination to try and track this down:

  1. Re-build your local perl setting USE_PERLIO = undef or whatever the equivalent configuration parameter is for your system(s).
  2. See if you can get someone who runs perl under cygwin (and/or Strawberry Perl) to see if they can reproduce the problems you are having.

Beyond that, report the problem to the threads maintainer and see what if any reaction you get.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
