Title:
  perl dumps core in DBI->data_sources('mysql', { host => 'unresolvable'
  })

Status in “libdbd-mysql-perl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Perl seems to trip up on a bad munmap() when attempting to connect to
  an unresoavlable host:

  lasse at depravity:~$ perl -MDBI -e 'DBI->data_sources("mysql", { host => "unresolvable" })'
  *** Error in `perl': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fffd31bb950 ***
  Aborted (core dumped)
  lasse at depravity:~$ 

  A plain connect works:

  lasse at depravity:~$ perl -MDBI -e 'DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:host=unresolvable")'
  DBI connect('host=unresolvable','',...) failed: Unknown MySQL server host 'unresolvable' (0) at -e line 1.
  lasse at depravity:~$

  The stacktrace seems to point to libdbd-mysql-perl as the culprit but
  I guess it might as well be perl, libdbi-perl or libmysqlclient18...
