Hi Henning- We've fixed a number of tricky issues with the 64bit index support discovered in PDL-2.014.
I'm pushing a PDL-2.014_01 CPAN developers release this weekend in preparation for a PDL-2.015 release, no later than 01-Dec-2015. I invite you to test this release before the official PDL-2.015 so that any potential issues from the Debian side may be addressed if possible.
