It takes a bit longer on my slower machines, but I have confirmed 
this on both Mac OS X and Linux   ;-(  ;-(  ;-(

Until this bug is fixed, use forks.pm (from CPAN).  It is a drop-in 
replacement for threads.  Which should allow you to get something 
working now without leaks (at the expense of CPU and latency) and 
allow you to go back to the real thing once the bug is fixed.
