That probably explains the segfaults when using Hook::LexWrap in some
circumstances as well. A few years ago I could reliably make perl
segfault by calling a wrapped function in void context - that is, just
throwing the result away. At the time, the fix was:
my $rubbish = wrapped_subroutine(...);
Unfortunately I forget what version of 5.8.x this was. It might be in
the p5p archives.
