This little gem is quite frustrating for me. Has anybody seen its like before?
First, on a Sun3:
perl -e 'open(o,"|cat");print o "hallo\n";'
Prints: hallo
Then, on a Sun4 (tried it on several makes)
perl -e 'open(o,"|cat");print o "hallo\n";'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Unfortunately, I am too much of a novice to make much sense of the core....
Seems to work on both PL 15 and PL 18.
Any hints?

Plain old CC did the trick.
BTW, the test suite DID fail on the gcc compiled version.
Just serves to prove that you should NEVER compile without testing....
Thanks to all who responded. The Net is a GOOD thing!
