This also crashes on Squeeze, albeit with a SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV.
IMO that means this bug shouldn't block Perl 5.14 going into wheezy.
I don't think there's much else we can do about this, so I propose we
add the attached patch to skip the crashing test but leave this bug open.

Subject: [PATCH] Skip a crashing test case in t/op/threads.t on GNU/kFreeBSD
Bug: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=96272
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/628493
The crash is not a regression in 5.14, it just gets triggered there by
a new unrelated test case.
Skip the test until the culprit is found.
