I think I found the problem. In the Cyrus Perl XSUB interface, the
stack pointer is not properly maintained when calling code which can
invoke Perl callback subroutines. If such a subroutine does something
which causes stack memory to be reallocated (in this case, triggered
by the long string value passed to the SEARCH callback), the XSUB code
must refresh its copy of the stack pointer to avoid corrupting memory.
I will submit a patch soon.
Thanks,
Bob
