TA> I'm hereby calling for votes to include this patch into 5.2.5.

The patch:

-#ifndef __x86_64__
-    FREETMPS; /* FIXME: known to cause a segfault on x86-64 */
-#endif
+    FREETMPS;


I think without looking further into the issue, I'd say -1.  If it's
known to cause segfaults on x86_64 (as the comment applies) then it
would be better to change the ifdef to a point where we know it's safe
now, or go back to the original perl version that the problem appeared
with and see if the problem has gone away.

(what I'm worried about is not that on a recent system with a recent
5.10 perl everything works just fine; it's on some older system with
some unknown (but still distributed) perl it'll break)
