["Reed, Timothy A" <timothy a reed lmco com>]

The perl version that I am using is 5.005_03.  Should I switch to 5.6.1 or
higher???

This is the perl interpreter crashing.  It seems that the regular 
expressions in the script cause a stack overflow on some systems (with 
some versions of Perl).  I think the solution was to upgrade your Perl 
(not completely sure; see the gtk-devel-list archives).
