I'm sometimes getting an assertion failure in S_sv_del_backref()
Core was generated by `/home/nick/p4perl/perl/perl ../lib/base/t/warnings.t'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

The assertion is here:
if (!av)
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "panic: del_backref");
assert(!SvIS_FREED(av));
Part of me thinks "well, all bets are off during global destruction"
but wasn't this array given a higher reference count to make it last longer
than its parent during global destruction? So is this exposing a bug?
