Thank you.  Sorry for putting you to the trouble.  The valgrind output
has just made something in my head click:

Data::Clone is calling the perl code that reallocated the stack, so I
suspect the bug is there.  Where is *it* not protecting things?

(I suspect its use of call_sv is buggy and that the commit that
supposedly broke it is a red herring.)

I am trying to reproduce this on dromedary.  The bad news is that I
keep losing my ssh connection before I finish processing dependencies.
But I seem to be getting closer each time....
