Segmentation Fault - Perl5.8.5

Hi Monks,

I'm currently involved in migrating a huge chunk of code (>45,000 LOC)
from 'perl/5.6.0a' to 'perl/5.8.5'. A significant part of this code is
made up of calls to 'Tk' widgets / GUIs.=20

The issue is the following:

This code, which used to work without any problems with 'perl/5.6.0a',
has all of a sudden started giving 'Segmentation Faults'. This happens
ONLY during the GUI invocation stage and that too, only the FIRST time
the GUI is invoked from a particular shell! During the successive calls
from the SAME SHELL, the GUI works fine!

as any of you faced similar problems? Any idea what could be causing
these 'First-Time' failures? Thanks!

Cheers,
Kaushik
