Bug#537356: perl-base: many perl based programes segfault

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: perl-base
Version: 5.10.1-13
Followup-For: Bug #537356


I can reproduce a segfault by running update-mime, by running this
script taken from update-alternatives:

----------------- segfaulting script -----------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl --

BEGIN { # Work-around for bug #479711 in perl
    $ENV{PERL_DL_NONLAZY} = 1;
}

use strict;
use warnings;

use POSIX qw(:errno_h);
use Dpkg;
use Dpkg::Gettext;
------------------------------------------------------------

and by running urxvt (rxvt-unicode).

I noticed the issue because clicking into a rxvt-unicode causes a
segfault. My system is fresh after resume from suspend to disk but I
think it is unrelated because I suspended the system a few times earlier
and did not notice any issues.
