[ID 20000315.019] Trouble using Devel::DProf with perl 5.005,patch 67

This is a bug report for perl from ehat@sammy.dev.shopnow.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.5.670.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

I've removed my old installed copies of perl and installed
the perl v5.5.67 as my only one.  I then compiled and tested
the Devel::DProf module from 19970614.  It seemed pretty happy.
...but...
When I try to use it, either with:
	#!/usr/bin/perl -d:DProf
...or...
	use Devel::DProf;
...
when I get to the end of the program (or the debug session)
I receive a core dump and the message: Signal SEGV: Aborted (core
dumped).

I've looked through the Devel::DProf and from what little I
can tell, it looks ok.  I'm suspecting it's the way that the
perl debugger is hooked into.  (Ok, that's it for MY technical
knowledge :-).

So, there's the bug.  Core dump on exit when using DProf.
Thanks.
