Right. I'd start by blanking the actual template, which will at least  
tell you if it's the template or the wrapper, and work from there..

well, I guess something like: $SIG{WINCH} = sub { Carp::cluck('here'); }

+ a SIGWINCH might be helpful.

Or just alarm(3); in your controller action - should cause an  
exception (and so stack trace in debug mode) after 3s..

I don't understand why you're seeing segfaults. What version of  
Catalyst are you using, what is your perl -V, and do you have the  
latest version of Variable::Magic installed? Also, if you could  
attach gdb and get the catalyst process to segfault, then a backtrace  
from c land could be useful.
