Thank you for all your help.
It appears to no longer be coring on 5.8.6. You were correct in reporting the bug, nothing should make Perl dump core (unless, of course, you ask it to). And as seen from all the discussion on this bug it probably was fixed incidentally as opposed to explicitly. Just want to remind folks there is a test patch attached to this bug. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Not king yet
