I didn't submit a bug for this, because I'm not sure it really is a bug, but wanted some info...
I've attached my test case which coredumps with the latest "stable" perl, straight from cpan, yet only on my computers? Some folks from #perl were nice enough to test for me, and they couldn't manage to get it to crash. Which is why I don't think its really a bug, but who knows, It might be, but just with my system config? Now, looking at my example, the crash goes away if I add "undef $foo;" at the end. Which would say that its "freeze" being called during global destruction is the problem? But then others in #perl had no problem whatsoever. I'm stumped, after 3 days on this... I'm stumped. I suppose I should also attach 'perlbug -d'. -- Thomas Fjellstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED]
