Package: perl Version: 5.10.0-13 Severity: normal
Upon upgrade to Lenny from Etch, one of our applications started segfaulting. Upon further review, we've narrowed it down to the following snippet of example code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @x; $#x = 500; $x[1] = 1; @x = sort @x; It seems pre-growing an array causes the subsequent sort to segfault. Sorting the results into a different array also eliminates the crash as well. This appears to most likely be an upstream bug, as we were able to re-produce this on a compiled from source perl 5.0.10 on Ubuntu Dapper 32bit. For what it's worth, Activestate Perl 5.10 does not exihibit this behaviour. We are able to reproduce on all Lenny machines attempted on, but they all are running x86_64. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.2 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.6 4.6.21-10 Berkeley v4.6 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-4 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.10.0-13 minimal Perl system ii perl-modules 5.10.0-13 Core Perl modules Versions of packages perl recommends: ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii perl-doc 5.10.0-13 Perl documentation Versions of packages perl suggests: pn libterm-readline-gnu-perl | l <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
