The packfile contains for string constants the STRING internal field "flags". This is used for various *internal* purposes, e.g. defining that a string is external or COWed. So a badly (i.e. non NULL) set flags field could seriously damage parrots operation WRT strings. IMHO, this field doesn't belong into the PBC. In the meantime, I would clear flags near packfile.c:930. leo
