Thanks to Santiago, I was able to verify that the following line ends with a SEGV at the 2nd iteration:

for i in {1..30}; do xvfb-run perl -Ilib t/cme-meta-plugin.t || break; xvfb-run perl -Ilib t/cme-meta-edit.t || break; done

Once the lines below are removed from t/cme-meta-plugin.t and t/cme-meta-edit.t, the test above runs fine.

   my $mw = eval { MainWindow-> new ; };

    # cannot create Tk window
    skip "Cannot create Tk window",1 if $@;
    $mw->destroy ;

Unless someone objects, I'll do the same on the Debian packaging of Config::Model::Itself.

All the best
