Description Marcela Mašláňová 2010-10-06 17:04:10 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #630667 +++

This cycle consumes more and more memory:

use threads;

sub ThreadRoutine {}

while (1) {
    threads->new(\&ThreadRoutine)->join;
}

perl-5.10.1 and higher affected (i.e. F-12 is clean).

This was already fixed in Fedora releases.
