Bug in Safe 2.21 re propagating exceptions

An exception thrown from a closure gets lost.
I've boiled it down to this:

   perl -MSafe -e 'Safe->new->reval(q{sub { die @_ }})->(qq{ok\n})'

That should die with "ok".

The problem is that the closure that wraps any returned code ref if
threads are enabled is acting as an eval block so hiding the exception.
