I can't reproduce anything like what you describe with 5.6.0, 5.6.1, any 
5.8.x or bleadperl. I tried running

perl -le "print kill(0, undef); print 'Hi'"

with each of those perls, and they all print 'Hi' okay. Is this 
one-liner sufficient to show up the problem concerned?

I'm running on Windows XP. What OS have you seen this problem on?
