Good.  This here patch sets up the flag in a few more places (to avoid
redundant sigjmp()s which was why t/op/tie.t triggered execution
of docatch()).  This patch fixes that flag leak.

Ok, here's a patch for the perl_call_*() problems with error traps,
meant for 5.004 (hope I didn't miss the boat!).

This is a subset of the functionality contained in Michael Schroeder's
stack-of-stacks patch.  The patch itself if simple: code that calls
runops() without explicitly setting up a jmp_buf sets a flag that
indicates doeval() is responsible for catching any longjmp()s
locally.  The three places that call doeval() then call setjmp()
based on this flag.

This patch is binary compatible and minimal (as opposed to the
stack-of-stacks patch which has other issues involved, making it
more complicated).  There's a testsuite with 9 tests (3_28 fails all
but one).

Post-28 INSTALL updates

Here are some more updates to the INSTALL file.  Specifically, I revised
the malloc section a bit to give more of an overall perspective (and,
admittedly, less detail).

Pod::Text fixes

Here are some bug fixes for Pod::Text.

Is it a bug that text given to =for and =begin doesn't get indented?  It
seems like a bug to me, but I imagine one could argue the other way so I
wanted to test opinion before fixing it.

Fix fd leak in IO::Pipe

The ->close is necessary, the IO::Pipe code is leaving two copies of the
pipe in the child.  It dup()s the pipe onto STDIN/STDOUT, but doesn't
then close the pipe.

Here's an fd scan of a child whose parent did ->reader:

    FD  Type            Mode  UID       Inode    File System  FS Type  rdev
    0   char special    0620  roderick  686      13054,42068  dg/ux    23, 8

    2   char special    0620  roderick  686      13054,42068  dg/ux    23, 8
    4   FIFO special    0000  roderick  23         900,    0  dg/ux       --

fd 4 is original write side of the pipe (the read side was fd 3) which
should have been closed by this point.

With the patch to hints/dcosx below 5.003_28 passes avarything
except test 9 of op/pack.  This seems to be a problem with
0xFFFFFFFF being treated as unsigned while
unpack("I",pack("I",0xFFFFFFFF) is signed.

./perl -e 'print 0xFFFFFFFF, "\n", unpack("I",pack("I",0xFFFFFFFF)),"\n";'

I'm assuming that gcvt is doing something strange.  Any suggestions/experiences?

Ultrix hints

Subject: Re: Perl 5.003_28 is available

The hint file for ULTRIX is out of date with respect to the size
of the Perl_yylex() function.  I found this after enabling -O2,
which works in recent versions of the compiler.  Also, despite
the inability of the standard dist unit to detect the fact, the
ULTRIX dirent struct does too have a d_namelen field.

Patch for that attached.

Also, of course, as expected, ULTRIX still fails t/io/fs.t test
#25, since [f]truncate can't be used to extend a file on that OS.
All other tests are fine.

-Wformat, you mean.  I wasn't previously, but I will in the future.  It
turned up a few bugs (some universal, some which would trigger only

Well, the following patch makes it run 4 times as long. The only
failure mode I have seen was silent walking off runops().

Here is the statistics (number of iterations before failure):

   Before:
                23, 24, 14, 22, 19, 13, 30, 11
        (4 core dumps, 2 attempts to free unref scalar, 1 panic:
                leave-scope, 1 silent)
   After:
                42, 936, 63, 131, 280.
        (all silent)

It looks like handling of internal stacks needs a lot of
improvement. What this patch does is only a symptomatic treatment, but
it may go into 004 nevertheless (especially if one can see why op
becomes 0 at some moment). I tried saving/restoring op in the handler,
but this does not help...

Replace that with just

        setpgrp;

This does the same thing and will work on all systems.

I think there's a bug here.  Perl is expecting a pgrp arg of 0 to mean
$$, but it doesn't allow an explicit $$.  Even this seems a little odd,
as on neither system I've got available at the moment is it mentioned
that a 0 pgrp means getpid() (they both mention that a 0 pid means
getpid(), though).

With this patch perl -lwe 'print int(".")' prints:

   0

as it should and perl still passes all its tests.
