segmentation fault in HTTP

Specs:   Linux 1.2.0
         Perl  5.001m
         libwww-perl 5b6

I'm getting a sementation fault while executing
the following code:

	$Url = 'http://some.url.goes.here/';
  $hUA = new LWP::UserAgent;
  $hUrl = new URI::URL($Url);
  $hRequest = new HTTP::Request('GET', $hUrl);
  $hResponse = $hUA->request($hRequest, undef, undef);
  $hStr = $hResponse->asString;
  $hHT = HTML::Parse::parse_html($hStr);

The segmentation fault appears to occur somewhere
in the 'request' call.  The trace messages when
Debug is active are:

  LWP::Protocol::collect: read 1894
	LWP::Protocol::http::__ANON__: collecting
	LWP::Socket::read: (...)
	LWP::IO::read: Read 0 bytes: ''
	LWP::Protocol::http::__ANON__: collected: 
	Segmentation fault

The code appears to work in that it GETs the URL
and parses it properly.  But then the program just
dies.

I'd GREATLY appreciate any help you might be able
to offer.

Thanks,
-Paul
