Arch Linux

Description:
Using threads to access websites via HTTPS causes Perl to hang or segfault. The problem appeared when the AUR switched to HTTPS. "glibc" was also updated at this time, which may or may not be a coincidence.


Here is a simple example script to reproduce the problem:

HTTPS can be enabled and disabled using the variable at the top. When disabled, everything works as expected. When enabled, the script will either hang or crash. The following is an example of the output when it crashes:

The following libraries are indicated:
/lib/libc.so.6 is owned by glibc 2.12.1-3
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is owned by openssl 1.0.0.a-3
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so is owned by perl-crypt-ssleay 0.57-5
/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/libperl.so is owned by perl 5.12.1-2
/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/auto/threads/threads.so is owned by perl 5.12.1-2
/lib/libpthread.so.0 is owned by glibc 2.12.1-3
/lib/libc.so.6 is owned by glibc 2.12.1-3

Rebuilding perl, perl-libwww, openssl and perl-crypt-ssleay does not help nor does downgrading glibc (which would indicate that this issue is unrelated to the recent upgrade).
