Hi,

thanks for the heads up !
I tried stock 6.1.5 on my qube2, but it was not more stable (could not =
untar pkgsrc)

I then tried current (NetBSD 7.99.1 (GENERIC.201410221550Z)) and this =
one is a winner (up 8 days, /etc/daily not panicing the machine as =
before) !

Except for one thing : I cannot get perl 5.20.1 (the current version in =
pkgsrc) compiled, which is unfortunate since many other package have a =
dependency on perl5 >=3D 5.20

It fails, not always at the same stage, with a perl error of the form =
"panic: memory wrap at lib/Pod/Simple/BlackBox.pm line 213"

Changing dataseg size limit seems to move the failure point.

Has anybody succeeded in compiling this version of perl on a Qube2 ?
