in reply to Serious Bug in latest Data::Dumper under 5.6.1
I get the segfault with perl 5.6.1 on solaris. But strangely, if I change the line:
print "Dumper:\n",Dumper(\%rev,\%name),"\n";
to:
my $dumped = Dumper(\%rev,\%name); print "Dumper:\n",$dumped,"\n";
It works fine. I can't see why that should make any difference.

Update:
simonf$ perl -MData::Dumper -le 'print Data::Dumper->VERSION' 2.12_01
Update: Tested on Win32, with ActiveState's D::D 2.121 PPM. Same behaviour - using Dumper() in scalar context avoids segfault.
