Package: perl-base
Version: 5.8.8-2
Followup-For: Bug #343690
Hello,
the following snippet successfully crashes Perl in 2 of 3 times on a
XEON SMP system. On non-SMP, it may take few seconds..minutes with the
attached loop, but then it segfaults, sooner or later. Apparently it
segfaults sooner on Atlon64 (x86 mode). Some people on #debian-devel
could reproduce it well, others could not at all. No idea which context
is required to reproduce it.
#!/usr/bin/perl

sub flow {
#
print "jo, ist da\n";
#
sleep 20;
#
}
#
use threads;
#
my $thr = threads->new(\&flow);
$thr = threads->new(\&flow);
time while perl perl_crash.pl ; do : ; done
