Stefan,

I have pushed a patch which creates Vend::Safe, a trivial wrapper  
around Safe which initializes all compartments at creation time.  I  
believe this will fix this issue.  Can you pull and report back?  This  
is the first time I've added a module to core, so I had to `make  
clean` and then `perl Makefile.PL` before it would install in my local  
interchange instance.  Is this usual?

Regards,

David
