Perl_save_vptr

Hi,

Please help with this one!

When I was upgrading to 7.1.2 I had problems getting plperl to compile.
During createlang I got messages about "Perl_save_vptr" etc. I saw a
reference to a similar message in the newsgroup and used Peter Eisentraut's
"wildish guess" patch and recompiled.

---patch-------

---end patch--

After that rebuild, creatlang worked and I thought I was all set to go.
But...the backend now terminates during a select which contains a call to a
plperl function.

Technical data: (PostgreSQL) 7.1.2
perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux
Linux shifty.dph.sf.ca.us 2.2.14-5.0

Server log snippet:
