Re: [MacPerl] 68K Crash under MPW 3.4

[wsalivar@mv.us.adobe.com (Bill Salivar)]

I've noticed a problem with the latest release 5.06r1m of MPW Perl.  I ran the
68k perl tool on both a quadra 840av and a 9500.  Both crashed immediately
using MPW 3.3.  There is a note in the readme about not using the non-68k
version under MPW but this is not the case.
