Hi, thank you for checking.  You're right -- perl-current doesn't
show this flaw.  I wish I had checked earlier, but at least I
learned something about perl internals :).  The regression test
might still be worth committing.

Could the fix be extracted from the 5.8.9 line so it can be
backported for Debian, etc. ?
