in reply to The number of ways I've independently discovered to make Perl segfault:

I've discovered ways to make XS-based modules segfault, but not Perl proper. Since it'd be unfair to point the finger at Perl for some third-party's C problems, I have to vote zero.

    I've had particular success with segfaulting Perl 5.6.1. My latest was an overload which returned an undef as a string. Worked fine under 5.8.0...

    Another good place to look for segfaults is in the RE engine.
