Subject: Perl segfaults if XS changes system environment
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Perl (Win32) segfaults with "free to wrong pool..." message during
interpreter
destruction phase IF:
1. destruct_level > 0
2. XS changes system environment
I hit this problem while installing Apache::DBI, which is using
DBD::mysql
in the test suite.

I used to work around this issue in Perl 5.8.5 by adding BUILDOPT =
$(BUILDOPT) -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV to win32/Makefile. But now I cannot
confirm that problem in version 5.8.7.
