Work around perl bug in SvPVutf8().
Certain things like typeglobs or readonly things like $^V cause
perl's SvPVutf8() to die nastily and crash the backend. To avoid
that bug we make a copy of the object, which will subsequently be
garbage collected.
Back patched to 9.1 where we first started using SvPVutf8().
Per -hackers discussion. Original problem reported by David Wheeler.
Ugh. This broke the regression tests. I'll get it fixed.
Yeah, notice that it's causing crashes, not just different results.
Indeed. It looks like the garbage collection was a bit too eager, so I
have a fix where we control when it gets done.
cheers
