Description:
The RQG testsuite crashes perl.exe (Strawberry Perl) on Windows Server 2008. The last working revision was 

revid:john.embretsen@oracle.com-20101021115700-9ig9chgy4q38zf7

The same behaviour was observed this spring/summer but the problem "went away"at some point (I have not long enough history in Hudson to pinpoint when it happened and which push caused it to "go away").

Note: So far reproduction only in Hudson context. When the test suite is run manually, everything works ok.

So one of the pushes from Philip on 2010-10-25 causes this, but they should not. Apparently the real reason is a bug in perl. Som uninitalized memory or a wild pointer or something.

How to repeat:
Rerun RQG tests under hudson.

Is this still a problem?
