There already was some follow-up discussion here:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2015/12/msg232991.html
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2015/12/msg233331.html

However the issue is still unresolved. The reason why this didn't show
up earlier is most likely because ASAN hasn't existed for that long.

I'd still hope we can somehow resolve this and make using ASAN with
perl less problematic.
