This is a bug report for perl from martin@lddd.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


I encountered a segfault at 
perl -e'1 for ("")x~-~-0' 
and found out that it only segfaults on SOME versions of 5.8.
For example on a i686-linux-thread-multi-64all-ld it does not.
Sorry, that's all i can say..
