I'd be grateful for any ideas on where to push this next. I have a
dodgy workaround, but it doesn't make me all that comfortable !

1. Problem Description:
Using IO::Socket::INET->new() causes a SIGSEGV
The test code is pretty simple ...
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new ({'Proto' => 'tcp',
'PeerAddr' => 'localhost',
'PeerPort' => 80});
The problem seems to be down in libnss. It seems to get confused
just after opening (the non-existent) /var/db/protocols.db, and
then SISGEGVs. The same libnss works fine outside of mod_perl,
via the same Perl & IO::Socket::INET; I guess there might be some
interaction between mod_perl/Apache and libnss.
libnss is part of libc, which for me is version 2.2.3 (slackware 9.1).
The symptom vanishes by configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf to only
use files for protocols (just delete the 'db' bit :), but I'm
worried that the problem is still lying around, and could surface
as some other random SIGSEGV.
I've used the bug template, and have a dist available at:
