Speaking of Perl 5.38, this bug is actually a problem in Perl.  The
rxvt-unicode patch just works around it.  According to the Perl upstream
bug (https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21366), at least one other
application (irssi) is affected.

Fedora has apparently reverted a commit in Perl to fix the problem, see
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl/c/dee564d443debbf47127d668f0982165835d873b.

Cheers,
