I think it's too early for "real world" stuff yet. Note that mod_perl6 is being worked on, it's the only application of which I know that lives outside the parrot repository.

As pmichaud pointed out on IRC, the segmentation fault is a problem with the garbage collector, calling parrot with -G (that is no garbage collection at all) makes the segmentation fault go away. (I'm reporting that as a bug right now)

As for feature requests (like %*ENV) I'd recommend to join #parrot on irc.perl.org and poke the people there, or send a mail with subject [TODO]: requesting feature %*ENV or something along these lines to rakudobug@perl.org

There's a Yapc::NA hackathon shortly, maybe some brave soul feels like implementing it, at least a read-only version of %*ENV.

Update: Jonathan now implemented %*ENV in revision 29377, although it's still limited.
