[perl #129826] Invalid read of size 8 in S_parse_body (perl.c:2166)when argv ends with --

This is a bug report for perl from nine@detonation.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.24.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
When perl is run with a command line that ends in "--" as in:
perl -e 0 --
S_parse_body will do an invalid memory access trying to set
scriptname to argv[0] which by then points after the -- and thus
outside the original arguments list.

Noticed by valgrinding Inline::Perl5 which embeds perl in Perl 6.
I failed to reproduce the valgrind output with just running perl
because probably valgrind thinks the -- is part of its own command
line.
