Sending a signal to a thread which has no signal handler causes Perl to segfault.
Issue
- When sending a signal to a thread that has no defined signal handler, the
perl
interpreter segfaults inthreads.so
- However, if a handler is defined for other signals that you send later, it will not segfault.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
- perl-5.10.1-115.el6
