Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-14
Severity: normal

The following test code will trigger a crash:
{
    package Foo;
    use Tie::Hash;
    use base qw(Tie::StdHash);

    sub new {
        my $proto = shift;
        my $inner = bless {};
        my %outer;
        tie %outer, __PACKAGE__, $inner;
        bless \%outer;
    }
}
my $h = Foo->new();
($h->{prog_name} = $0) =~ s|^.*/([^/]+)$|$1|;

A simple assignment (e.g. ($h->{prog_name})= $0 =~ m|([^/]+)$| ) works.
The same crash happens on lenny/amd64, while older systems (etch) are o.k.

I have heard that similar problems occur on other systems (redhat) with
a newer glibc version.
