perl app with threads core dumps when using SigAction.pm for signal handling in RHEL 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

An application has a threaded perl program that core dumps when it is sent a signal 15 to tell it to shut down. The perl module Sys::SigAction was added with thread support in perl 5.8 and suggests it should work with perl-5.10.1 from RHEL 6. It works just fine with the perl-5.16.3 included with RHEL 7.
