Well, I'm not sure what magic pl/perl uses to do it's job, but the 
function (shown earlier in this thread) is relatively simple, I think.
I've never really tinkered with perl and threads...

I've just installed 0.8.3.0 onto the FreeBSD test box, and I got the 
same result (crash on the 2nd execution of the function) and output 
(same filesize for both sets of debug logs).
