I have absolutely *no* doubt about that. There's a bug in there, and it
needs squashing. I left it be because Sarathy was pushing hard for a
release. Turns out there's a nasty bug in the parser that'll throw perl
into an infinite loop which needs fixing, but I'd still just as soon leave
this be until release. (I want a working 5.6.0 *out*, darn it! :)
