Use perls own malloc implementation (make -DWITHOUT_PERL_MALLOC for an
up-to-date perl5.8 port, if you use make -DWITH_THREADS perls own malloc
implementation gets disabled by the FreeBSD port)? AFAIK perl 5.0 in the
4.x basesystem doesn't use its own malloc implementation.

I've tried it on -current with perl 5.6.1:
 - I've aborted your testcode after 5 minutes without perl malloc
 - with perl malloc it needs ~9 seconds

Bye,
Alexander.
