Something in parrot's letting strstart and bufstart get out of sync
for some strings, which leads to a core dump.
Snips from running gdb on the core:
#1 0x08090fb4 in string_to_cstring (interpreter=0x829bd00,
s=0x83c0584) at src/string.c:2768
2768 memcpy(p, s->strstart, s->bufused);
(gdb) p s->strstart
$2 = (void *) 0x404ab560
(gdb) p (char *)s->strstart
$3 = 0x404ab560 <Address 0x404ab560 out of bounds>
(gdb) p *s
$4 = {obj = {u = {_b = {_bufstart = 0x84b6700, _buflen = 15}, _ptrs =
{_struct_val = 0x84b6700, _pmc_val = 0xf}, _i = {_int_val = 139159296,
_int_val2 = 15}, _num_val = 3.1898690691932138e-313,
_string_val = 0x84b6700}, flags = 299264, _pobj_version = 0}, bufused
= 12,
strstart = 0x404ab560, strlen = 12, representation =
enum_stringrep_one, hashval = 0}
(gdb) p (char *)s.obj.u._b._bufstart
$7 = 0x84b6700 ' ' <repeats 12 times>
