Yes, this is with kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3, the same also happens with a
home brew 2.6.9-ac16
Well, that really looks like a kernel oops. Sure there's not one in
dmesg output? I don't really know what else would cause that.
You could try 'ulimit -c unlimited' and run gdb on /usr/bin/perl and
the resulting core file; that might give more clues.
