I have exactly the same behavior with May 6 snapshots (Visual Studio 6SP3, WinNT SP6) - quoting myself from a different thread: [RE: mod_perl failing on win32 (CVS snapshots)] [...] Yup. My 'nmake test' now segfaults at conftree.t, with an access violation somewhere in perl56.dll By running restricted test suites, I found out that the culprit appears to hide somewhere in compat2.t, i.e the sequence: perl -Mblib t\test t/apache/compat2.t t/apache/conftree.t wedges, whereas: perl -Mblib t\test t/apache/cgihandler.t t/apache/compat.t t/apache/conftree.t perl -Mblib t\test t/apache/cgihandler.t t/apache/conftree.t perl -Mblib t\test t/apache/compat.t t/apache/conftree.t are clean. (But note that for instance: perl -Mblib t\test t/apache/compat2.t t/apache/post.t also works. Combinatorial explosion, anyone?) [...] My test output is exactly the same as yours down to the memory addresses in the segfault dialog box. >From hints in the above mentioned thread, looks like people running XP are experiencing fewer or different problems in the test suite.
