--- Comment #12 from Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> ---
The code crashes because of jumping into invalid address when destroying
allocated data structures on perl interpreter exit. This is itself very weird
and it can be a symptom of bug in the perl, a memory corruption, or a compiler
bug.

Because the the code flow of the logwatch tool depends on the file system
content, it's almost impossible to reproduce this crash and thus to debug this
problem. E.g., the "/usr/sbin/logwatch --output mail" command proceeds cleanly
for me.

I'm sorry, but without more details, especially debugging on your side like
narrowing what's the trigger, it's impossible to fix this issue.
