is the lifetime of event objects limited?

first of all, is this dead, or is everybody on vacation? ;)

anyway, my webserver gets a memory fault about every half an hour (high
load). It runs fine when my callbacks are structured like this:

   sub callback {
      # ... use event structure
      return;
   }

but when my callbacks look like this:

   sub callback {
      push @some_queue, $_[0];
   }

   Event->add_hook(prepare => sub {
      # look at @some_queue, sometimes
      # run one_event or other functions
      # that might recursively call into
      # the event loop.
   });

I get random memory faults. When I keep the same structure but don't
preserve the event objects (push...) then everything seems fine.

Are the event objects being reused in a way that makes it impossible to
extend their life over the callback itself?
