Most strange. We did fix it, but not in the way I would have guessed:
commit 61d42ce43847d6cea183d4f40e2921e53606f13f

New AIX dynaloading code from Jens-Uwe Mager.
Does break binary compatibility.
p4raw-id: //depot/perl@10554
The SEGV (due to an illegal instruction) goes away once perl switched to using
dlopen() for dynamic linking on AIX.
So my hunch that this bug was interesting was right, but not for reason I'd
guessed.
