Sure?
No PerlHash, PerlArray, PerlString?
No pointers to string's data?
...
All PMCs are anchored properly?
Anyway, to sort out this kind of bugs please provide for ponie two
command line options with these equivalents in imcc/main.c:
" -G --no-gc\n"
" --gc-debug\n"
Please UTSL for details. The first turns off DOD & GC, the second enables
a switch GC_DEBUG (for which there is an envirnonment setting too:
if (is_env_var_set("PARROT_GC_DEBUG"))
Turning off DOD/GC normally shows, if the error is related to that.
Turning on GC_DEBUG does more DODs, e.g. in each string_compare that is
anywhere, where a hash is searched for example.
