Definitely not the case, and the problem is cross-architecture:

nix@amaterasu 5 /tmp/test% razor-check email.txt
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0057a478 ***
Aborted
nix@amaterasu 6 /tmp/test% uname -a
Linux amaterasu 2.6.11.9 #1 Fri May 13 00:51:26 BST 2005 sparc unknown unknown GNU/Linux
nix@amaterasu 7 /tmp/test% perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for sparc-linux-thread-multi-64int


It also dies on my i686:

nix@hades 6 /tmp/mail% valgrind razor-check email.txt

so yes, it's deHTMLxs at fault.
