Since (at least) perl 5.10.0, this situation is now caught and handled
slightly better than segfaulting:
chr...@crispylappy:~$ perl /home/chrisb/390442.pl
panic: attempt to copy value meh to a freed scalar 19b0d48 at
/home/chrisb/390442.pl line 9.
I suspect we can consider this bug fixed in perl
forwarded 390442 perl5-porters@perl.org
thanks

Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-6.1
Severity: normal
Script attached will provoke a segfault or free()-related abort on
every Perl I've tried from 5.004 to 5.8.8. Google shows nothing
relevant-looking for "segfault Perl_newSVpvn_share" so I believe it's
a new bug. The code is of the form
