This is a bug report for perl from frank.wiegand@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.12.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

The following code crashes perl:

        % perl5.12.0 -E 'given ( goto f ) { f: }'
        Use of "goto" to jump into a construct is deprecated at -e line 1.
        perl5.12.0: pp_ctl.c:4005: Perl_pp_leavegiven: Assertion `((cx)->cx_u.cx_subst.sbu_type & 0xf) == 3' failed.
        zsh: abort      /opt/perl/perl-5.12.0-RC3/bin/perl5.12.0 -E 'given ( goto f ) { f: }

Yes, I see the deprecated warning.
Yes, no one would do this.

But perl should not crash, too.


Thanks, Frank
