I think this should be part of 5.14.3. It's a bugfix for something
that's been there since 5.10, but the fix is a couple of lines and is
easy to review:

    7402016 [RT #78266] Don't leak memory when accessing named
captures that didn't match
    http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/7402016

Note that only the first hunk to regcomp.c is needed. The other part
is a revert of b28f4af8cf which was another proposed patch to fix the
issue.

I've marked it as Requested in cherrymaint. If you agree I can come up
with a patch that applies cleanly on top of 5.14 (which'll be
trivial).
