That sounds normal, or to be expected.

That sounds like a bug :-).

gdb might be more informative, if you've got debug builds of perl and
maybe libc (in debian they're separate packages and hiding under
/usr/lib/debug ...).

electric-fence is very good on memory corruption, but you need massive
ram to run it on a big mallocing program like perl.
