+Fixed a bug detected by valgrind where sv_pvn_force_flags() would
+check SvPVX() even when the SV hadn't been upgraded to a C<SVt_PV>.

+Fixed a bug in caller() introduced in 5.18.0. In some circumstances
+when caller() was called on an C<eval STRING> stack frame it would
+attempt to allocate the limit of the address space minus one, which
+would croak with an out of memory error, which would be caught by the
+eval. A change in 5.19.1 which increased allocation sizes to allow
+COW to operate more often rounded that allocation size up and wrapped
+to a zero allocation size, resulting in a crash when the source string
+was copied over. [L<perl
