<apologies if this comes through twice, my first try didn't seem to
make it>
This program core dumps when run under mod_perl on Solaris 2.8 x86.
#!./perl
use Oraperl;
use XML::Parser;
my $parser = new XML::Parser;
$parser->parsestring(''); # fails with valid xml here as well
It runs fine on Linux and Sparc Solaris. It also works fine from the
command line, or if I remove the use Oraperl line. I'm using the
following releases. I had the same problem under apache 1.3.19 and
mod_perl-1.25, and with perl compiled with and without usemymalloc.
I also tried Apache with mod_perl as a DSO and statically linked.
apache 1.3.20
expat-1.95.1
mod_perl-1.26
perl-5.6.1
DBD-Oracle-1.06
DBI-1.15
XML-Parser-2.30
I searched the web and found a known problem with symbol conflict with
apache's expat, but I have --disable-rule=EXPAT. I also saw a
recommendation to use XML-Parser-2.29, which I tried with no success.
Has anyone here seen this problem or have ideas on how to solve it?
