The issue is that Tie::Cache is not threads safe. See 'perldoc threads' for more.

Hi Jerry, please elaborate, exactly what is not thread safe in Tie::Cache and why should it be clear to me by citing a generic manual page as a whole? The only paragraph that talks about thread safety in the cited pod is: Thread-safe modules See "Making your module threadsafe" in perlmod when creating modules that may be used in threaded applications, especially if those modules use non-Perl data, or XS code. However I don't see any non-Perl data or XS code in Tie::Cache. It is just a hash together with a doubly linked list, which of course contains circular references. Under "Making your module threadsafe" in perlmod I only see talk about non-Perl data again. Ralf Show quoted text

My error. This is an out-of-memory issue; not a threads safe issue. If you reduce the range in: $c{$_} = 1 for 1..30000 to something much lower: $c{$_} = 1 for 1..1000 it works fine. This is a bug in the perl interpreter in that the out of memory condition is not being handled properly and a segfault is occurring. Where this is occurring is beyond my capability to detect.
