For me it always dumps core at the same place. When writing pods/perltoc.html:
[...]
And it is not an error on parsing the problematic file. perltoc.pod is by far the largest file with the most links.
It is 355440 bytes, which IMO is not that large.
perl -mPod::Simple::HTML -ePod::Simple::HTML::go \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod > perltoc.html
works fine.
And after renaming /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/pods/perltoc.pod~
it also works fine.
Since this file is skipped then, yes.
So it's clearly a cygwin or perl specific memory issue.
Hmmm. perl uses about 23 MB memory in total for me before it dies. I think this is again the 2 MB stack issue, I have the stack for perl at 8 MB now, maybe t needs more. Do you want to recompile yourself to test this? Get the cygwin perl source package for this and look into perl-5.8.5/cygwin/perlld.in to change the default stack size there to eg. 16 MB or 32 MB instead of 8 MB. I'll try this now anyway, so wait a minute...
