Subject: Subject: libdbd-mysql-perl: Machine with latest mysql security update segfaults,
 rebuild needed?

Package: libdbd-mysql-perl
Version: 2.9006-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

*** Please type your report below this line ***
I have a relatively simple script that segfaults on a machine that has
the latest security updates for sarge, but runs fine on a machine that
has not yet applied them.

There is an strace at http://rafb.net/paste/results/68YHWC13.html

I took it to #debian-devel, and...:
ruoso If one security update touched a library which is used by the
Perl XS module... then this can be the cause of the problem
KjetilK hmmm
ruoso aparently, this is what's happening...
ruoso libdbd-mysql-perl should be rebuilt
KjetilK guess so...
ruoso KjetilK, can you send a bug report on it?
KjetilK Sure

So, here we go!

I used reportbug to submit it, and it looked like it was sent, but
apparently not...
