Thanks; I've reduced the error to the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = sprintf qq!"%s"! => 'a' x 957; # 956 is ok
print "<1> = $1" while /(["'])((?:\\\\|\\\1|.|\n)*?)\1/gm;
which segfaults on 5.6.0 on OS X with the indicated 957 char (or longer)
string, but is ok with shorter strings.
Seems like a good time to upgrade to bleadperl.
