This is a bug report for perl from Robin.Barker@npl.co.uk,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

This short piece of code
	perl -e 'sub { sub $a; open my $f; die; }'
produces
	Bus error

If you change anything 'sub', 'open', 'my' or 'die'
you get a syntax error (and sometimes a bus error).
