This is a bug report for perl from sam@vilain.net,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.1.

Found a segfault with thawing standard Perl structures with Storable.
This seems to be a bug on all Storable versions I tested, which
includes Perls 5.6.1 - 5.8.3.

Note that it only seems to trigger, if there are back-references to
overloaded objects, *after* something has been deparsed via
B::Deparse - or is that thawed with eval?

The details of the structure don't seem to matter much, but I've made
the simplest structure I could manage that demonstrates the problem.
Which was a *lot* simpler than my original structure ;-).

Here's a test script, which I've tried to make as similar to the ones
in the Storable distribution as possible:

#!/usr/bin/perl

sub BEGIN {
    if ($ENV{PERL_CORE}){
        chdir('t') if -d 't';
        @INC = ('.', '../lib');
    } else {
        unshift @INC, 't';
    }
    require Config; import Config;
    if ($ENV{PERL_CORE} and $Config{'extensions'} !~ /\bStorable\b/) {
        print "1..0 # Skip: Storable was not built\n";
        exit 0;
    }
}

use strict;
BEGIN {
    if (!eval q{
        use Test;
        use B::Deparse 0.61;
        use 5.006;
        1;
    }) {
        print "1..0 # skip: tests only work with B::Deparse 0.61 and at least pe
rl 5.6.0\n";
        exit;
    }
    require File::Spec;
    if ($File::Spec::VERSION < 0.8) {
        print "1..0 # Skip: newer File::Spec needed\n";
        exit 0;
    }
}

use Storable qw(retrieve store nstore freeze nfreeze thaw dclone);
use Safe;

#$Storable::DEBUGME = 1;

print "1..2\n";
{
    package Banana;
    use overload   
	'<=>' => \&compare,
	    '==' => \&equal,
		fallback => 1;
    sub compare { return int(rand(3))-1 };
    sub equal { return 1 if rand(1) > 0.5 }
}

my (@a);

my $nasty =
    [
     foo => sub {
	 print "Hey, there's some code here!\n";
     },
     ($a[0] = bless [ ], "Banana"),
     ($a[1] = [ ]),
    ];

# this one segfaults every time.
$a[0]->[0] = $a[0];

# this one only segfaults once in a while.  Other times, it says:
#   Cannot restore overloading on REF(0x815460c) (package <unknown>)
#$a[1]->[0] = $a[0];

print "not " unless $nasty;
print "ok 1\n";

$Storable::Deparse = 1;
$Storable::Eval = 1;

my $schema2 = dclone $nasty;
print "not " unless $nasty;
print "ok 2\n";
