SEGV during 'return' statement

Hi,

I've written a quite large program in Perl. Everything works fine but
sometimes I get a SEGV while executing a 'return' statement. gdb's bt
command says:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x401b96e8 in free () at malloc.c:2952
#1  0x4006c0b3 in Perl_safesysfree ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#2  0x40071203 in Perl_mg_free ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#3  0x4008751d in Perl_sv_clear ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#4  0x40087a52 in Perl_sv_free ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#5  0x400a2387 in Perl_pp_return ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#6  0x4007a1b3 in Perl_runops_standard ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#7  0x40030bb2 in S_run_body ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#8  0x400308c3 in perl_run ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux-multi/CORE/libperl.so
#9  0x80491bc in main ()
#10 0x40180a5e in __libc_start_main () at
../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:93    

What is the best way to track the bug down further?

Thanks
