^^^^^^
I can't speak to the Perl 6 stuff, but if you are not getting a null
terminated string (or
one that is too long) from Perl, the strcpy(2) could cause a segfault.
Either way, you might
want to replace that with a strncpy(2).
There were a few things that bothered me about the C driver, but I can't
remember what they
were right now. It might have been that the C driver is "a very basic
MongoDB c driver" and
"is an alpha release", and nothing more. You might also want to take a
look at the MongoDB
driver as a reference.
