A lack of knowledge of C89, since AFAIK, most P5Pers use GCC in C++ mode
here, and if my C++ knowledge is correct, they will never see the bug.

Commit
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/db17973a7879fcb6ada1024d1c72e99a944746d1
is responsible. I'll leave it to khw to realize his mistake in that
commit and fix all the warnings in regcomp.c in
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/2013/10/msg152778.html
.

I am upset because the only reason I saw this is because I looked at my
screen because my TV show went to commercials. The smoke report still
"passes" even though its outputting severe warnings. The timing of
commercials on the TV is not a reliable way to check for bugs in a make
test. 

IMO if it wasn't for a TV commercial this would have silently gone into
5.20. Anyone agree or disagree?

Maybe those SV leak warnings should be fatal on DEBUGGING builds, not
warnings?
