Thanks! I should probably have done some more homework first myself, sorry
about that. I was thinking of signal 11 which led me to the wrong track.

I see this should already be fixed upstream in threads-shared-1.31:

 http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=threads-shared-1.29&to=threads-shared-1.31

as confirmed by the recent successful build of the separate
libthreads-shared-perl package:

 https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=libthreads-shared-perl;ver=1.32-1;arch=hppa;stamp=1256995073
