With respect to the provided log file:

It appears the startup problem is a non issue as discussed in the thread.

I have never seen the shutdown crash but Justin has, so I am going to
suggest this is a perl issue for the following reasons. The log file
suggests the segfault occurs at or around the unload_perlextension call.
Since this call makes no attempt to ensure valid pointers before using them,
I expect it to cause segfaults. Since I am not able to compile with perl
support on any platform, this would explain why I have never seen the issue.
For this same reason, I would prefer someone with perl support to confirm
this to be the cause of the crash before a fix is applied.

Mark.
