Bug 120727

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
I get segment faults when running Crypt::Random tests.  The same
applies for Crypt::Primes.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Crypt::Random 1.13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I am installing in order
1. pari-2.1.5 (http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download/pari-2.1.5.tgz)

2. Math::Pari
(http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/Math-Pari-2.010501.tar.gz)

3. Class::Loader
(http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/V/VI/VIPUL/Class-Loader-2.02.tar.gz)


Actual Results:  When I try and install Crypt::Random, one of the
tests fail.
t/pari_misfeature....dubious
        Test returned status 0 (wstat 11, 0xb)
DIED. FAILED test 1

when I look closer at this error I see its a Segment Fault.
[root@localhost Crypt-Random-1.13]# perl -Mblib t/pari_misfeature.t
1..1
Segmentation fault

if I strace this problem I get
close(3)                                = 0
stat64("/dev/urandom", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0644, st_rdev=makedev(1, 9),
...}) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

The problem seems to be caused after the return statement in the "new"
function in lib/Crypt/Random/Provider/File.pm.

Additional info:


This appears to be fedora 1.0 specific, the same process installation
works fine on redhat 9.  Additionaly, I have run yum and installed all
the updates, but this did not resolve the problem.

What should I do now to isolate this problem further.
