Re: Perl threads sort test program crashes

in reply to Perl threads sort test program crashes

It crashes for me also, but changing mycmp to sub mycmp { length($main::b) <=> length($main::a) } seems to fix it. I think this is a bug.

update: This is on v5.8.3 built for i386-linux-thread-multi. I just tried it again and I can't get your original version to crash. Weird.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
