Does that setting disable loading the other modules, where the problem happened? I do have that setting in my ~/.bash_profile file on the system where I complied 6.7, and where Perl crashed. Does the build disable that in some way? I will see if I have any setting of TEXINFO_XS_PARSER on the system where I built the pretest.
