We are using freeradius 1.0.0pre3 with rlm_perl, and have done
something (not sure what) to get it to hang using 100% of the CPU.

strace shows absolutely nothing, and when attached to with gdb, it
appears that it's stuck on one line (the program pointer never moves
when single stepping) in perl_detach.  Taking a look at perl_detach, I
see a for-loop, and inside that there's a

while (handle->status == busy) {
}

Which makes me suspect that that is the line in question.

So, what can I do to avoid this?  The perl we're using is compiled
with USE_ITHREADS (default RH9 perl, I believe), although we never use
them.  The above while loop is inside an ifdef USE_ITHREADS, so I was
wondering if I could trick freeradius into thinking we're NOT using
ithreads, it could make this hang impossible to trigger.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
