That's in the REPL, as a one liner, 4 OUTER's crash, 3 don't

$ perl6 -e '$OUTER::OUTER::OUTER::OUTER::True'
Null PMC access in get_attr_str()
  in sub  at src/gen/CORE.setting:8786
  in method at_key at src/gen/CORE.setting:8839
  in method postcircumfix:<{ }> at src/gen/CORE.setting:1861
  in method postcircumfix:<{ }> at src/gen/CORE.setting:1849
  in block  at -e:1

$ perl6 -e '$OUTER::OUTER::OUTER::True'
$
