Subject: Fails: perl -MCrypt::Random=makerandom -e "fork && makerandom"
Hello, I have the misfortune to be working on Windows XP and traced a problem I've been having to Crypt::Random and fork combined. The last command produces a popup window "Perl Command Line Interpreter has encountered a problem and needs to close" C:\>perl -MCrypt::Random=makerandom -e "die $Crypt::Random::VERSION" 1.25 at -e line 1. C:\>perl -MCrypt::Random=makerandom -e "makerandom" C:\>perl -MCrypt::Random=makerandom -e "fork && makerandom" I installed the Active State ppm version 1.25 of the module. My perl is: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Let me know if I can help debug or if this bug actually belongs somewhere else. Regards, Brad

Actually, it seems Math::Pari is the problem perl -MMath::Pari -e "fork"

More generally, it appears to be a threading problem. It can be replicated using perl -MMath::Pari -Mthreads -e "threads->create(sub{})->join();" - Math::Pari 2.010603 (installed from the ppm in AS's repository) - ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 817 - WinXP

Been cleaning out the closet... I know this is super old, but still seems to segfault. Where should this be directed? On Tue Mar 06 21:01:19 2007, ikegami wrote: Show quoted text
