perl-5.10.1         Practical Extraction and Report Language
ftpmirror-1.96_3    An utility to mirror directory hierarchy with FTP

>Description:

Perl 5.10.1 has a bug that causes segmentation faults. This is always triggered by ftpmirror. It may also be triggered by other scripts.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install perl 5.10.1, install ftpmirror, try to use ftpmirror.

Also, according to the Debian bug, you can reproduce with:

perl -e 'sub M::DESTROY; bless {}, "M"'

>Fix:

See Debian bug report with patch for perl 5.10.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564074
