I just had the debugger dump core on me. The following is a complete
transcript of the session. As you can see I did nothing but let the
program run.

I've been having alot of trouble in the debugger with programs that
generate alot of warnings. Looking at the backtrace shows there is
some sort of problem there.

$ perl-devel -dw pod/pod2man pod/perlwin32.pod

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.05
Emacs support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, run `perldoc perldebug' for more help.
