I use Debian unstable, this is the exact problem I had once. What your
experiencing is not due to Debian, but the threaded version of Perl.
I had to recompile all of my Debian Perl packages with a the
non-threaded Perl. The problems I had experienced went away as soon as
replace Perl.

To shed some light on any linux/unix distribution that uses threaded
Perl (Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, Solaris) and offers a IC package will find
that IC only 80 percent functions on that platform. 

If I had enough time/bandwidth/system resources I would build all of the
Debian Perl packages under the non-threaded Perl and offer them. It is
not a trivial task. I have been working on a separate offering of a Perl
Debian package that will allow for the packages that have to be built to
function with it's respected Perl package. I will be looking to only
build the required modules that IC needs.

If enough Debian users are interested in this package please let me
know, I will see about finishing this off and getting it put into Debian
proper.

***So the only fix to your problem is to use a non-threaded Perl***.
