Package: libparams-classify-perl
Version: 0.013-6+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

The XS version of this package registers an op checker by writing directly into 
PL_check array
(see libparams-classify-perl-0.013: lib/Params/Classify.xs line 741)
This is not the canonic way of registering a op checker, it should use 
wrap_op_checker instead.
This bug is only causing problem if the BOOT section is executed twice : on the 
second
execution, the infinite loop will form when nxck_entersub will point to 
myck_entersub (as PL_check[OP_ENTERSUB] already points to myck_entersub).

Note: the bug is fixed in version 0.015 (buster).

Here is the suggested patch for version 0.013 :
