I can reduce the leak to this astonishingly small test case:
use threads;
sub ThreadRoutine {}
while (1) {
$thread = threads->new(\&ThreadRoutine);
$thread->join;
}
This leaks like a sieve on 5.8.1+ and bleedperl (but not on 5.8.0 funnily
enough).
I haven't got time at the moment to investigate further (lots of other
things I should be doing).
