- Corrupt filename when setting %INC entry in a @INC hook
-
- The code in pp_ctl.c after calling an @INC hook blindly assumes that the
- SV setted by the user in %INC is an SVPV (SvPOK true) for setting the
- filename. So when the user uses other scalar types, the output of
- __FILE__, warn, die, caller, etc. shows random garbage.

- OS/2 hadn't been updated to cope with the ext/ restructuring.
-
- I don't have OS/2, so I can't test this, but the code in Configure will assume
- flat directories, because ext/File-Glob is present, and hence not search
- recursively and not find the OS/2 extensions if they are copied into ext/OS2/*
-
- I believe that without this change OS/2 will not have been building since the
- change to flattened ext. This change may not be sufficient to get OS/2
- building again, but it is in the right direction.

- Fix unpack of abstract socket addrs with nul byte
-
- Addresses of Linux abstract namespace sockets are not nul-terminated C
- strings, but rather an arbitrary character arrays. According to unix(7)
- documentation from Linux, "Null bytes in the name have no special
- significance."
-
- unpack_sockaddr_un() was just throwing the initial nul byte away and
- then treating the rest like ordinary C string when computing the length
- of the address, which was wrong. This fix utilizes the length of the PV
- for addresses starting with nul instead.
-
- The regression test was extended with check for the problem.

- Speed up repeatcpy() by at least 40% for 1-char or numerous repeats
-
- And don't make it receive the interpreter anymore.
-
- For 1-char repeats, use memset(). Otherwise, use the old implementation up
- to some (small) length, and then use memcpy() in a binary manner, based on
- what we previously copied.
-
- Note that we use memcpy() so both strings shouldn't overlap. The previous
- implementation didn't allow this as well. This would be a good place to use
- the restrict keyword from C99. I'm not sure if Configure has a probe for it.
