 I just discussed that issue with mike on irc:

<dennis> mike: any news about the 4.8.2 freebsd bug?
<mike> Which bug would that be?
<dennis> read the mailinglist? :) segfault on startup
<dennis> jojo was the last one who reported it
<mike> Aha, that is a Perl bug
<mike> You have to define setproctitle=define or something when building
<dennis> standard perl in freebsd broken?
<mike> Yes, the distro Perl is broken that is nothing new with FreeBSD....
<mike> They shipped Perl 4 as the default perl on the system until December of 1998....
<dennis> 8-)
<mike> Or you can uncomment the $0 = .... lines in bin/interchange, which is
<mike> what causes the core dump.
