I've put a limit on the number of combiners allowed (1024, waaay higher than any real-world use case will need). So it now throws rather than SEGVs. Added a test to S15-nfg/many-combiners.t to check that it either works or throws a catchable exception. We may in the future want to specify a minimum number that a Perl 6 implementation must be able to cope with. For now, the SEGV is gone. /jnthn
