-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
where I32 != int or the like). I think -Wformat should be added to
CFLAGS automatically when appropriate.

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).

Better looks_like_number() function [sv.c]
The old looks_like_number() function was too forgiving. It classified
strings like these as numbers:
"+"
"+e+"
"e3"
"."
With this patch perl -lwe 'print int(".")' prints:
Argument "." isn't numeric in int at -e line 1.
0
as it should and perl still passes all its tests.

speed advantage may be bigger.

Here is the new data, note the absense of "tails" of growing arrays.

No, all this is wrong. It is 20bytes/elt, and we have stack,
mortals-stack, 1..100000, @a and @b.
