OK, I've figured out how to determine what perl has been executing when it crashed:
host ~ # for i in /var/crash/0/*perl.core; do echo "p my_perl->Icurcop->cop_file\np my_perl->Icurcop->cop_line" | gdb --silent /usr/bin/perl $i 2>/dev/null | grep 'gdb'; done (gdb) $1 = 0xa3887f8 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit (gdb) $1 = 0xa3887f8 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit (gdb) $1 = 0xb50f400 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit (gdb) $1 = 0xb50f400 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit (gdb) $1 = 0xb084d68 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit (gdb) $1 = 0x9772fb8 "/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/iXhash.pm" (gdb) $2 = 75 (gdb) quit [...] Apparently all crashes on this machine are caused by that exact location, except for a single crash: (gdb) $1 = 0xc0699b0 "(eval 1231)" (gdb) $2 = 3325 (gdb) quit The file ixHash.pm is part of the iXhash SA module[1] that we've packaged ourselves. I've published our (probably ancient) version of the file on paste.debian.net[2]. Unfortunately, line 75 is a huge eval, and I don't know yet how to pinpoint the exact location in that eval that causes the issue.
