Bug#522099: panic: MUTEX_LOCK (22) [op.c:453] in Perl 5.10.0 on Debian when using perlembed

[David F. Skoll]

Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-19
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Perl 5.10.0 seems not to be able to create, destroy, then recreate an
embedded Perl interpreter the way Perl 5.8.8 could under etch.

Please see attached test case.  Untar, then:

	./configure && make && ./embperl

On Etch / Perl 5.8.8, it prints "I'm very happy!" twice.

On Lenny / Perl 5.10.0, it prints "I'm very happy!" the first time
and then:

panic: MUTEX_LOCK (22) [op.c:453] at script.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script.pl line 1.
panic: MUTEX_LOCK (22) [op.c:453] at script.pl line 1.
