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?

Thanks,
Mixo Shiburi

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