I can confirm the segfault. At this moment I don't know what causes it or how to fix, but I'll investigate it further.

Even though I didn't do anything specific to treat this bug, your code now works, and I was able to confirm it is running in the background. Maybe changes in libperl or the fact that now KC itself is multi-threaded.

That said, starting threads in Perl is something that has not been test, and there might be unexpected effects, including crashes. So I'd call it an unsupported feature.
