I tried the 7/8/00 snapshot and I'm noticing a problem running Perl 5.6 on
it.  This happens with the following message.  tmp.pl is simply a 'print
"hello world\n";' kind of program.  I was thinking about recompiling perl to
see if the problem goes away when I do that.

(gdb) run tmp.pl
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/perl.exe tmp.pl

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x6107a726 in _size_of_stack_reserve__ ()

I don't know if this is related to the older DLL problem or not, but I would
be happy to help figure it out.  I tried the snapshot because of the extreme
slowness of 1.1.2 even with nontsec and I'm happy to report that this
slowness is gone!  :)
