I don't reproduce this on linux, either with 5.8.7, 5.8.8 or bleadperl,
with a similar configuration (no threads, usemymalloc=n) with and
without Term::ReadLine::Gnu installed. Maybe I missed something.
Nor do I, only on Solaris. IIRC, when building perl myself many years
ago, I was given a choice of DynaLoad mechanisms and had a hard time to
get it running. Since the contents of the loaded library decide whether
this happens or not, maybe there is some memory overwriting happening,
the effect of which depends on the precise layout of the library -- and
probably on the dl mechanism.
I also forgot to mention that I trussed (that's strace for Linuxers) the
programm, and no system calls were failing (besides a few irrelevant
ENENTs while searching for files). So that would suggest that an
internal malloc wrapper is failing.
