Description Hans Ecke 2005-04-20 15:57:58 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux; en_US) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko)

Description of problem:
Recently I have seen segmentation faults crop up in unattended (cron) perl  
scripts. Unfortunately I can not reproduce them interactively. 
  
I set them to create core files and downloaded perl-debuginfo. Attached you 
will find some backtraces that might help.   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.5-9

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have perl scripts in cron (/etc/cron.hourly/ etc) 
2.Use BSD::Resource to make them create core files if interrupted 
3.Wait for messages in the mail 
   

Actual Results:  Perl scripts die from segmentation fault and create core files 

Expected Results:  They should not die. Perl should never ever see a segfault. 

Additional info:

See attached gdb backtraces.
