Hello Edward.

This looks like a perl/Solaris2.6 problem. The program is segfaulting
in malloc(). This isn't good at all.

Some things that may be related to the problem:

Did you compile expat, XML::Parser and perl using the same compiler?
I once heard that it was better to use(or not use) perl's builtin malloc
implementation on Solaris. You can check the malloc implementation by
running "perl -V:usemymalloc".

Since it is sometime working and sometime not, I think it is related to
the size of the XML report produced. The XML report seems always to be
produce correctly. It is in the formatting that it is failing sometime
(with the processor using XML::Parser).

In the mean time you can always save your XML report by using the -o xml
output format. You can then format those using lr_xml2report later. The
output formats that requires XML::Parser are txt, charts, excel95 and
the report merging functionalilty.

Let us know if you find more information on the malloc bug.
