in thread Processing an encoded file backwards

Will test on Linux tomorrow, but I doubt it's about the Perl version.

Termux with 5.28 doesn't die.

$ perl $VAR1 = "\x{3ddd}"; $VAR1 = ''; $VAR1 = "\x{fad8}"; $VAR1 = ''; $ perl -v This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 2 (v5.28.2) built for arm-android
