Yes, recompile Perl yourself and stick with the default answers to the
Configure questions. ;-)

You have to answer "no" to "Do you wish to attempt to use the malloc that
comes with perl-5.7.0?".

Frank, can you fix that? BTW, why is the Perl malloc used? The default is
"no" and in hints/mint.sh "usemymalloc" is not mentioned.  If nothing else
helps, you can try the patch at the end of this mail.

Ciao & Thanks!

Guido
