[mp2] mod_perl 2.0.7 Segfault When Loading Certain Perl Module

Hi,

I work for a project that has been using mod_perl for quite a while. 
Recently, we upgraded our 64-bit web server with Perl 5.16, mod_perl 
2.0.7 (it's 2.0.6 with patch), and apache 2.2.22 on CentOS 6.3. Since 
then, we've been unable to start Apache server (segmentation faults) 
with same httpd.conf which worked previously.

As far as I can tell, the segfault seems to be triggered while trying to 
load any Perl module using either PerlModule directive or in <Perl> 
block in httpd.conf that directly or indirectly use Carp, or even just 
try to load Carp itself. Strace shows that the process would segfault 
while loading (or right after loading) Carp.pm. The server can still 
successfully start and work when carefully removing such modules in 
httpd.conf.

Is anyone seeing this same issue or have any ideas how it can be fixed 
other than trying to hack through all the Perl modules to make sure Carp 
is not called?

Note that we compiled Perl with relocation flag 
(-DPERL_RELOCATABLE_INCPUSH) turned on, yet same issue can also be found 
without the flag in our test.

Any help/advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
