Unless you feel like combing through the source, don't bother. It died in Perl_safemalloc(), at least that's what it looks like.

If you don't feel like patching the binary, I'd just start debugging and try and fix in your script the situation that caused the binary to crash.

I would highly recommend you trying to find a minimal case that reproduces the bug and forwarding that to perl-bug.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
