Hi.
I seem to have run into some issues since I upgraded to perl 5.6.0. Since
doing this, I recompiled all of my modules (I removed /usr/lib/perl5 and
started fromscratch). I also recompiled apache/mod_perl so everything was
linked against the properl libperl.
Im using:
apache 1.3.12
mod_perl 1.22
perl 5.6.0
HTML::Embperl 1.2.1
Everything worked fine under perl 5.00503, but now that I am running under
5.6.0, I get an apache segfault for every request. The problem seems to be in:
XS_HTML__Embperl_GVFile()
I get the entire document from the server before it crashes, so this seems to
be a problem after the request has been served. XS_HTML__Embperl_GVFile() get
entered lots of times after the page has been delivered before I get the
segfault. Here is a stack after running httpd under the debugger and serving
one request:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

As you can see, it looks like Embperl is involved in the problem here. If I
set a breakpoint at XS_HTML__Embperl_GVFile, I enter the break point about 42
times before the segmentation fault happens.
Has anyone else seen this?
Mike
