You forgot to tell us the versions of perl, CGI::Fast, ithreads and
underlying system you're running. :)  Others have had a similar problem,
too:

FWIW, I get the same behavior under perl-5.8.4 with CGI::Fast-1.05 and
threads-1.03 atop Linux 2.4:

  $ perl -Mthreads -MCGI::Fast -e 'threads->new(sub{})->join()'
  Segmentation fault

... but that version of "threads" is so old that it's hardly a relevant data
point.  Try threads-1.23 or 1.24, available from CPAN.

I also suggest that you ``use threads'', rather than ``require'' it.

Good luck.
