Is it possible to request non-security backports?
This fix is in recent Perl interpreters:
Basically, if a Perl module relies on a system library which creates and terminates threads, then Perl segfaults.
For me, this means that anything which uses DBD::Oracle crashes on a regular basis.
Security policies make it ridiculously complex to run software which is not from an official distro, making it very hard to actually fix this bug.
Since this is a fundamental functional flaw with the shipped Perl binary, what would be the policy about backporting it?
