Makes you think that perl_auto_load is a macro in perl's headers, but
I didn't find any sign of it:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE$ grep perl_auto_load *
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE$ 

Or maybe a symbol in the library itself?

/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE$ nm libperl.a | grep perl_auto
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE$ 

Could it be something added to 5.8.x? I don't get the perl_auto_load crash in 5.6.1.
