I don't think you ever mentioned exactly what platform you're running
on; it seems to be some 64-bit Linux variant but you didn't say which.
I've been futilely trying to reproduce the hang on a Xeon Fedora Core 6
machine, and just now I noticed what might be a significant discrepancy.
You showed this in a gdb printout:

On my machine the corresponding lines point to /usr/lib64:

Maybe this is just a cross-distribution difference in file layouts,
but I'm suddenly wondering if there's a 32-vs-64-bit issue here.
Exactly which perl packages have you got installed?
