That could be your problem. Tons of unsanctioned by p5p locally applied 
patches. Any chance you could try a newer Perl? It's not clear if your 
perl is really 5.6.1 + patches. I'm afraid this is really 5.6.0 + patches, 
which is certainly unsupported, and will explain the reason for the failure.

So either upgrade your perl and try again, or send us the backtrace of the 
core file:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Resolving_Segmentation_Faults

(but I'd stronly suggest the Perl upgrade first)
