Actually, I think I know the problem: Red Hat probably decided that it
was time to ship perl with threading enabled. Which causes all sort
of troubles. (I googled for that weird message I saw in your first post:
"Attempt to free non-existent shared string" and this seems to be
related to threading.) 

The problem might be related to a non-thread aware compilation of
XML-Parser, but I'd expect Red Hat to rebuild all the perl RPMS when
they upgrade perl.

Anyway, you can check for a thread-enabled perl build by running the
command:

perl -V:usethreads

Here, it says:

usethreads='undef';

Next step would be to recompile the XML-Parser module just to see
if it solves the problem.
