perl 5.10 crashes with segfault

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.10.0-56.fc10.x86_64 (but crashes on 32-bit too, Windows version crashes too)

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
Follow the instructions on http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=64550 and/or http://users.camk.edu.pl/chris/5.10-bug-afm2pfm/
  
Actual results:

The bug is already fixed according to Dave Mitchell <davem>.
Still Fedora 10 uses the buggy perl.

It's not.
I check this on rawhide which has the same patches as the latest build  for F-10 (perl-5.10.0-67.fc10) and here it's working. You can install this build from testing repositories or https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2992

Comment 2 Marcela Mašláňová 2009-04-24 08:29:37 UTC

Should be fixed in perl-5.10.0-68.fc10

Comment 3 Krzysio (Chris) Leszczynski 2009-04-27 09:22:06 UTC

Confirmed! Now it works with the software that trigerred the above bug.
Many thanks to Red Hat, Fedora and Perl Teams.
