events are not callbacks. theoretically you could have an event with an
implied action and no callback. the bug is as i said, it should not call
the null callback. cancelling the watcher because of no callback makes
no sense. you just cancel the watcher.
why did you even try that? what was your goal?
and it is not a perl bug in any case. it is trivial to get perl to core
dump from an XS module.
