X XI have compiled my own version of Perl 4, which seems able to cope Xwith the script without crashing. It's just as well that I haven't Xyet taken the time to learn Perl 5 properly and start using its new Xfeatures ... X XThe urgency is therefore no longer present; I'll continue my work on Xmoving the bug system across and make an announcement when it's ready. X XThanks, XIan.

This looks like a really old bug. Is it still actually around, perl has gone through several upgrades and a new version.
