 The following PIR program produces a segfault on my system (r48766):

 {{{
 pmich...@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ cat y.pir
 .sub 'main' :main
     $P1 = new ['ResizablePMCArray']
     $I0 = 0
   loop:
     unless $I0 < 20000 goto done
     $P2 = new ['Integer']
     assign $P2, $I0
     push $P1, $P2
     inc $I0
     goto loop
   done:
     say 'about to join'
     $S0 = join ' ', $P1
     say $S0
 .end

 pmich...@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ ./parrot y.pir
 about to join
 Segmentation fault
 pmich...@orange:~/parrot/trunk$
 }}}

 This problem has apparently existed since at least Parrot 2.6.0.  Lowering
 the size of the array to 10,000 elements avoids the segfault, but in
 Rakudo even much smaller list sizes (200) can cause weird things to
 appear:
