Thats not the same symptom.

That neither.

While all of them might be caused by the same underlying error, please note
that different parts of the string are missing, making it very likely that
this is some form of random memory corruption.

While the workaround would be to copy the string, it should really be
reported and fixed in perl (or whatever causes that).

I would do that, but so far I cannot reproduce anything like that on any
of my machines and perl versions.

Could be (for example, buggy version of Tk (almost any :)) or corruption
elsewhere, just causing no output.

Which could explain the PASSes I and others get, too, even though our
perls might be just as buggy.
