I'm having problems rolling my own copy of perl, running NetBSD 1.3_BETA.
I let perl work out it's own configuration, (./Configure -d -e) and it
dumps core on the filecopy test, viz:

root@ph330812# ./perl lib/filecopy.t
1..11
ok 1
ok 2
ok 3
ok 4
ok 5
ok 6
ok 7
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The offending code runs as follows:

print "ok 7\n";
unlink "file-$$" or die "unlink: $!";

print "# moved missing file.\nnot " if move("file-$$", "copy-$$");
print "# target disappeared.\nnot " if not -e "copy-$$";
print "ok 8\n";

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

More information is available on request.

Cheers,
