that could be your problem. Try rebuilding with -02 instead.


Hi Stas,

Well, I tried recompiling 5.8.2 with optimize=02. No go.
I tried to compile 5.8.3 (with O3) - no good.

Are you sure it was actually compiled with -02? Did you check 'perl -V'?

I'm just going to comment it out for now. At least I'm up to 5.8.3 now
;).

That would be a pain, won't it. Let's try to nail it down, continueing where we started:

No, that's not what I was suggesting. I suggested that you take the failing A-T as is, and start cutting chunks of the code leading to failure and retrying, untill you get a minimal case. This is much better than starting from the other side. Using that approach you have a constant failure, and you know that removing some code doesn't affect it.

Once we have a standalone short test case, we can ask at p5p.
