Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-13
Severity: normal
Upon upgrade to Lenny from Etch, one of our applications started segfaulting.
Upon further review, we've narrowed it down to the following snippet of example
code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @x;
$#x = 500;
$x[1] = 1;
@x = sort @x;
It seems pre-growing an array causes the subsequent sort to segfault. Sorting
the results into a different array also eliminates the crash as well.
This appears to most likely be an upstream bug, as we were able to re-produce
this on a compiled from source perl 5.0.10 on Ubuntu Dapper 32bit. For what
it's worth, Activestate Perl 5.10 does not exihibit this behaviour.
We are able to reproduce on all Lenny machines attempted on, but they all are
running x86_64.
