I haven't seen this reported yet. I'll try to track it down tomorrow,
but in case anybody in the know can point out the problem immediately:
$ perl -e 'sub TIESCALAR {bless[]} sub FETCH {*a=\1;1}
> tie($a,__PACKAGE__); print $a'
zsh: segmentation fault perl -e
Of course, this is an odd thing to do, and therefore, I'm not
surprised that there are no regression tests to catch this. My goal
was to use a tie() to provide demand loading of an object. The first
time through, access is through a tie() that initializes the object,
removes the tie, and returns the object. The second time through, and
later, the object itself is referenced, and the tie() is gone.
