I found this when I started to use threads in a program that used XML::LibXML for something completely separate from the reason I wanted to use threads. It seems that if there is a reference to a DOM in another package, when I try to join my threads I get $subject. I worked out a minimal test case which fails 70% of the time. Nate

I probably should note I'm running perl-XML-LibXML-1.58-5 from RHEL5. I did try 1.65 which I recompiled from Fedora 8/9 and hit the same issue. Nate

I tried out 1.66 and my test case works there. Nate

Your test seems to work in SVN version too, closing. (See also t/90threads.t for similar regression tests).
