Doh! Thanks, I definitely should have noticed that. Although this does bring up another issue -- should parrot really be seg faulting when it gets a uninitialized (null) PMC? It happens to me quite often. In a way, the current behavior is rather nice, since the errors tend to be more obvious. Then again, that's only because all my test programs die early enough that no incorrect but non-null values have snuck into my registers yet. Also, I wouldn't expect a VM to fall flat on its face from something like this.
