Subject: crash problem with PerlInt


Hi Parrot-Freaks!

I've used PerlInt instead of PerlString by mistake.
The error occurs if code like this is executed a few times: ("data" is a
PerlInt)

        find_global P1, "data"
        set S1, P1
        # ....
        set P1, S1

It works a few thousend times, then it stops working
often resulting in a crash.
The code works like expected when
- using PerlString instead of PerlInt or
- adding sweepoff (at the beginning of the program) or
- .. you have the right amount of global data (more or less store_global
and/or find_global calls result in different time until the bug occurs)

An example is attached.

cya,
Jens Rieks
