There is a PR about this issue (ports/131993) but the maintainer is reluctant to approve the patch listed there. The maintainer has asked for system information from people who report this problem in the past (see the PR log for details) but nothing has ever come of it. It may be useful for you to send the same information to the maintainer who is, presumably, still interested in fixing this bug. Is the benefit to the embedded perl option worth the occasional bug report? Is it possible to remove this option from the port? -- WXS
