And with neither do I get an 'Out of memory!' message. > I forgot to mention that none of this happens in 5.8.x, i.e. it's a > regression in >=5.10.x. > It may not be as simple as that (unless it's a regression >= 5.8.x ;) Here's a resume of what happens to me (in several cases using the debugger (perl -d) on your test program: 5.8.8 + c -> runs through. 5.8.8 + t + c -> hangs. 5.11.0 + c -> SEGV at line 65. 5.11.0 + t + c -> runs through to line 119 (end of prog). I've attached the -V and -Dr outputs from both 5.8.8 and 5.11.0, from both perls, and the output of several runs, for reference. -- Richard Foley Ciao - shorter than aufwiedersehen http://www.rfi.net/Thread Previous | Thread Next
