at r17619, i'm unable to run make test, due to failures in p5rx tests. actually, none of them are failing, but my system becomes non-responsive. after approximately test 200, tests (and there are over 900) take a few seconds each to complete, and each one uses more and more memory. at over 125MB, and 100% cpu, i can do little but kill the process. this means that the harness dies, and i can't complete 'make test'. i suspect a string gc problem. in the meantime, i'm turning on -G locally so i can run the rest of the tests. although it uses 170+MB even with -G, the test completes, and does so in 12s. if there's no other solution pre-release, i'll commit this change. ~jerry
