Hi list,

  William McKee <william@knowmad.com> reported problems with mod_perl
  segfaulting with Petal, however I cannot reproduce it on my local
  machine. I suppose it's a platform thing (running redhat 7.3 on an
  Athlon here).

  I've attached test.cgi and test.tmpl, two minimalistic example to
  ensure that everything works ok under Apache::Registry. William, could
  you re-test this on your platform, and tell if it still core dumps?

  If it does, what platform are you running?

  It it doesn't what needs to be done in the template to make mod_perl
  core dump?

I'm looking forward to get this stuff sorted out as quickly as possible,
as a Perl templating engine that core dumps mod Perl might not be that
useful :-)

Best regards,
