I can confirm this.


Core was generated by `debugperl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/combi.t'.
Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.
#0  0xf7c7dadc in S_scan_str (my_perl=value optimized out, offset=13) at 
stolen_chunk_of_toke.c:716
716 SvGROW(sv, SvCUR(sv) + (PL_bufend - s) + 1);

It works with Perl 5.10.1. A workaround for 5.10.0 is to lower the
optimization to -O1.

 anybody have a spare one they could let me (or somebody else in the
