I'm trying to build PAR-Packer-0.975 with bleadperl (as of patchlevel 31376) on Win32 using VC++ 6.0 and I have a crash from boot_Win32CORE() in static.exe during the build process.

The build has got as far as building myldr\static.exe and then runs:

.\static.exe -I"C:/Temp/PAR-Packer-0.975/inc" -I"C:/perl5/lib" -I"C:/perl5/site/lib" -I"C:/Temp/PAR-Packer-0.975" -I"." -I../myldr/.. -I../blib/lib -q -B -O..\script\parl.exe

from the \myldr sub-directory. (My perl is installed in C:\perl5.)

That program runs through the code in myldr\static.c down to this line:

i = spawnvpe(P_WAIT, my_file, (const char* const*)argv, (const char* const*)environ);

at which point it spawns another program called static.exe living in the following temporary directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\steveh\Local Settings\Temp\par-steveh\cache-161d47eb7091f16be8219bba46b7f98b4a4ca24d

The arguments in "argv" in the spawnvp() call above are:

C:\Temp\PAR-Packer-0.975\myldr\static.exe -IC:/Temp/PAR-Packer-0.975/inc -IC:/perl5/lib -IC:/perl5/site/lib -IC:/Temp/PAR-Packer-0.975 -I. -I../myldr/.. -I../blib/lib -q -B -O..\script\parl.exe

so I tried running the version of static.exe in the "cache" directory above with those arguments. This also crashes, in apparently the same way as when building PAR-Packer, but is now easier to debug...

The debugger shows it crashes on the first line ("dXSARGS;") of boot_Win32CORE():

The crash is an Access Violation, but I've no idea what's gone wrong here. Any ideas?

My perl installation is a debug build without multiplicity, ithreads or the implicit host layer and with perl's malloc(). The full "perl -V" output is below.
