Re: AS 5.8 segfaults -- but only on the second attempt?

There are certainly still some known instabilities introduced by substring references. You might want to browse the bugs database at http://bugs.perl.org for some other examples.

For what it's worth, the latest bleading-edge perl doesn't have a problem with this testcase, so there's a good chance it'll also be fixed in 5.8.1.

Thanks Hugo. That the problem is gone in bleed perl is reassuring. I just created a user account at bugs.perl.org and received the password. It won't let me log in yet, but I'll give it a few.
