If you add the line

  die "Failed to enable thread safety"
      unless Glib::Object->set_threadsafe (1);

immediately after the "use Glib;" line (specifically, before any calls to Glib
or Gtk2 or related packages), then your example script no longer crashes. 
Instead, i see a "Scalars leaked: 1" message at the close of each thread, which
is, i believe, related to the fact that the object is being kept alive by the
object tracking.

Please see:

"Can I use threads with gtk2-perl" entry in FAQ  (predates object tracking)
http://live.gnome.org/GTK2-Perl/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-4d5ea9310685f66fc167cf8497357e341f73128b

Glib::Object::set_threadsafe()

"gtk2-perl thread safe" mailing list announcement

zentara has a decent summary of how to do thread-safety here:

If that doesn't fix your problem, please reopen.
