Segmentation Fault with Markdown

[Jonathan Ploudre]

I've been using Markdown for a website I'm getting ready to roll out 
for some non-technical physicians at my family practice residency. I 
was running into problems with static rendering on blosxom that I've 
tracked to Markdown 1.0b4.

It's been a while since I've been on this list. I downloaded all the 
archives and can't find a mention of other people having segmentation 
faults. I'm running it on perl 5.6.0 on AIX. When I ran blosxom with 
the perl -w command, it would crash only if Markdown 1.0b4 was enabled.

I got an error that said:

======================
  Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at 
/hw55/d57/tacmed/admin/blosxomplugins/Markdown line 222.
======================

I just downloaded 1.0b5 and it seems to work. Odd, that, the line that 
gives the error on b4 looks unchanged to me. Version b5 gives me the 
following error:

======================
Malformed UTF-8 character at 
/hw55/d57/tacmed/admin/blosxomplugins/Markdown line 1130.
======================

Anybody have ideas about whether that is a real error -- even though my 
personal setup seems to work right now?
