Yes, it's recorded as debian bug too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503832 > 2) Does the package in squeeze take this problem into account - ie > does it use a threads free version of perl? > > http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/sql-ledger Debian's perl version is full featured, it supports threads.

However someone who is able to reproduce such a problem should try to cooperate with one of the upstream perl developer to get this problem fixed on the perl side if it's really a perl problem. Or maybe one of the Debian perl maintainers could investigate it (Niko Tiny comes to mind) but someone must provide him access to a setup where the problem can be reproduced and/or provide a simple way to reproduce the problem on a fresh debian squeeze/sid system.
