[ic] Threaded perl (re: debian bug #203579)

I just ran the test listed in this deb bug report code using perl 5.8.4 and got 
a seg fault. I'm confused - I read in a few places that this was no longer a 
problem? I wanted to run Interchange with stock debian perl code if I can, but 
I'm not sure if this is still an issue?

This bug is getting close to 2 years old -seems like perl should default to non 
threaded or this bug should get fixed?

I ran the test code listed in the debian bug and got a seg fault with the 
testing version of perl.

But this:
http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2003/01/16/whatsnew.html

--seems to imply that it is fixed????? (see under the "Perl Threads" section.)

Has anyone in perl upstream ever looked at this?:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=203579

Isn't this the same bug that causes(d) problems in interchange?

How can I test for the perl thread bug in interchange?

Can someone provide an authoritative update of the status of the threaded issue?
