After some narrowing down, I've produced a minimal case that will always
segfault. Sky told me to try build a non-threaded perl, but alas my box
doesn't have enough HD space to try it out, so I now give the problem to
ya'll :)

Here's the code:

# Standard stuff to catch errors
use strict qw(subs vars refs);				# Make sure we can't mess up
use warnings FATAL => 'all';				# Enable warnings to catch errors

# Load some stuff
use POE;
use POE::Component::SimpleDBI;

# Fire off the SimpleDBI stuff
POE::Component::SimpleDBI->new(
	'ALIAS'		=>	'SimpleDBI',

	# Be sure to put something totally non-real in here
	# Hint: put in a real database, but get the username+password wrong
	'DSN'		=>	'DBI:mysql:database=NonExistant;host=192.168.1.1;port=3306',

	'USERNAME'	=>	'TEST',
	'PASSWORD'	=>	'TEST',
) or die 'Unable to create the SimpleDBI session';

POE::Kernel->run();

# Now, it should hang for a little bit, just wait for DBI to fail...
# Here's the exact line in SimpleDBI that causes perl to die:
# die( "Could not connect to the DataBase: $_[ARG0]->{'ERROR'}" );
# Now, IT SEGFAULTS on my debian testing box ( Perl 5.8.2 with threading )
__END__

Luckily, I got the perl-debug package, so here's a nice backtrace of the
segfault:

gdb --args /usr/bin/debugperl /test.pl

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
