Package: libperl5.6
Version: 5.6.1-5
After a recent update of my testing/unstable distribution using dselect
(updated on thursday sept 27 I think), gaim crashes on execution. Using gdb,
it is apparent that the crash is occuring in libperl. Gaim did not crash
previous to the updated. Further, I did not change gaim before or after that
update (I compile it from source), and after the crash tried a different
version of gaim recompiled; this caused the same problem. Here is the
backtrace:

I assume but have not tested that this will occur in the debian gaim package,
since compiling with perl enabled is the default.
I am using kernel ver 2.4.5, debian testing/unstable, libc libc-2.2.4 .
Hope this is useful,

Hi,
this is the same bug as #141111: libgnomeui32 is inserting a constant
string into the environment, and libperl tries to modify it. It was
fixed in perl 5.8.0.
(This can be reproduced by putting a script in ~/.gaim and running
gaim_applet from the woody gaim-gnome package.)
I'm closing the bug.
Cheers,
