Subject: Workaround for the "\x{12345678}" plus s/(.)/$1/g plus ord/length
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=209a9bc1bcfe078e350f0f6efa8375fce6dcbb44;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Workaround for the "\x{12345678}" plus s/(.)/$1/g plus ord/length
bug noticed by Robin Houston; basically the code of detecting
value wraparound was acting differently under different compilers
and platforms.  The workaround is to remove the overflow check
for now, a real fix would be to do the overflow (portably) right.
