I'm also getting "out of memory" errors when running under the debugger.
It's not quite the same condition as described above, but seems similar.
Oddly enough, this happens on a Convex but not a Sun.  I'm going to 
try using the system malloc and try again to talk gcc into compiling
perl (not an easy thing any more, at least with our horribly complex
include files.)
