Change 34269 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2008/09/05 12:18:53

        Integrate:
        [ 34136]
        assert() that the pointer passed to Perl_sv_chop() lies within the
        buffer of the SV.
        
        [ 34138]
        The assert()ions in sv_chop() that the passed in pointer is within the
        SV's buffer should be full-on panics, as bogus values passed in can
        cause later heap corruption, which is a bad thing (TM).
        
        [ 34144]
        Fix use of a variable before it is initialised, introduced by change
        34138, spotted by Jerry D. Hedden. I assume that he's compiling with
        options that enable trace flow analysis from the C compiler.
