Segfault in perl module's r->print

Using $r->print() in nginx1.0's perl module leads to a segfault. The
problem appears to be in nginx-land, not perl land.
I am using the first example listed on
http://wiki.nginx.org/EmbeddedPerlModule - this example works fine if
the $r->print()'s are commented out.

Being unfamiliar with the code, I've been unable to find where
ngx_pcalloc() is being called from XS_nginx_print (in
modules/perl/nginx.xs),
this seems like it'd be a fairly simple problem to fix but being
unfamiliar with the code I've been unable to track it down - so far.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
