Hi,

I recently faced a similar problem.  It turned out to be a problem with perl.
I compiled perl with my native compiler, and I got seg faults and/or bus errors
when running MD, even though it passed all of the perl tests.
After recompiling perl with gcc, all seemed happy.  In the configure script I
used the malloc that comes with perl..  If you haven't tried it already, try
compiling with the GNU compiler.

Hope it helps.
