This is a bug report for perl from perlbug@plan9.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.12.3.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

It seems "for" does not keep references to the values it iterates over.

The following script fails with "Use of freed value in iteration at ... line 6":

   my $a = my $b = { 1 => 1, 2 => 2 };

   for (values %$a, values %$b) {
      %$b=();
   }  

The expected result would be no output (and 4 iterations).

This is especially problematic as for cannot even detect this case
reliably, causing any amount of corruption.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
