Issues New issues * [1]Perl #130893: Reuse code from defined macro. * [2]Perl #130903: caller_cx(0,NULL) returns NULL. * [3]Perl #130907: unicode_strings feature doesn't work with split ' '. * [4]Perl #130921: Bleadperl v5.25.5-100-g2b5e7bc2e6 breaks JDDPAUSE/re-engine-GNU-0.021.tar.gz. Resolved issues * [5]Perl #130853: system() does not return -1 in low-memory situations. Suggested patches Jim Keenen provided a patch in [6]Perl #130885 on how to use [7]Devel::PatchPerl to repair older builds with an example from bisecting [8]Perl #72414 (UTF-16 filters do not handle all surrogates gracefully).

Pali provided a patch in [10]Perl #130801 (SvNV() does not store computed value to NV slot) to clarify the expected behavior.
