Welp, hard to help you here since there isn't any version info for the
infobot, but.. I am succesfully running a blootbot 1.0.0pre4 (infobot
derivative) in -CURRENT, and haven't seen any such problem. If there is
indeed a problem with the new perl (which is in -STABLE too I believe),
I'm sure it's been fixed by now. Just about every new box that gets
rolled out with perl comes with 5.6.0 nowadays..
The only problem I've seen, since ~October? is the ocassional exec bug
from backticked execs in perl from the infobot. In this case, it was for
ps/tail to find out it's current memory. We just commented out the
memory usage check and perl no longer core dumps.
Just for reference, here are two of the perl core dumps from November
