Hi,
I am currently testing some perl software wich use your "Event" module.
The problem I have is that the program sef faults as soon as is call
"Event::loop()" method. From the perl debugger I got

Signal SEGV at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Event.pm line 148
     eval {...} called at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Event.pm line 148
     eval {...} called at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Event.pm line 148
     Event::loop() called at sbin/whois line 400

The offending line seems to be "eval { $@ = $errsv; _loop() };" (line
148) as removing it gets rid of the seg fault (and subsequent core
dump). What could be the cause of problem?


P.S I am running redhat linux 7.3 (with the latest updates), on an
athlon.
