perl5 gobbles core - config error?

I'm having some problems with perl 5.001 on a 2100/DEC Unix V3.2A,
specifically intense memory use and just plain crashes.

Problems so far have been experienced using ftplib.pl, a (perl4?) library for
scripting ftp transactions, and option processing with [new]getopt[s].pl.

Ftp stuff gobbles core like there's no tomorrow then dies (out of memory),
getopt stuff dies with alignment errors like:

Unaligned access pid=25756 <ptest.pl> va=14002050b pc=120062afc ra=12001937c
type=ldl
Unaligned access pid=25756 <ptest.pl> va=1400204ff pc=120062ba0 ra=12001937c
type=ldq
Segmentation fault

Perl4 works fine with all these, I built both perl4 & 5 using gcc 2.6.3, maybe
I screwed my perl5 config (think I just accepted defaults), any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon
