I can report that after upgrade to Safe 2.15 that the problem still exists.

Nice. Your perl is 5.8.8? Could you please try the following test script?

use warnings;
use strict;
use Safe;
use version;

my $comp = Safe->new; # never using it!

my $code = <<'EOT';
use version;
qv('3.0.17');
EOT
my $ret = eval($code);
print "$ret"; # should stringify the version
[download]

On my system with Safe 2.14 the script produces a SEGV:

$ perl test.pl
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method version::(""() is deprecated 
+at test.pl line 13.
Segmentation fault

But with Safe 2.15 it runs fine.
