[rrd-users] Segmentation fault (core dumped) on perl module

[Frank]

Hi,

I recently tried to upgrade from rrdtool 1.0.x to 1.2.x (1.2.19 in this 
case)
Recompiled the perl extension with perl-5.8.8 (same version as I used 
with 1.0.x . But perl crashes with a SIGSEGV. A backtrace shows:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x48277fa3 in _getopt_internal () from 
/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib/perl/5.8.8/-freebsd/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so

#7  0x8060040 in perl_run ()
#8  0x805d604 in main ()

Some more information about my OS and software:

- FreeBSD 4.11
- gcc 2.95.4
- perl 5.8.8 compiled with all default options.


What can cause this crashing and how can it be solved?
