-Ok, here's a weird one. Using the precompiled perl5a6 binary for the
-sun, the following dumps core:
-----
-@S = (0, 1, 2, 3);
-for ("A", "D", "b", "c") { $foo{$i++} = $_; }
-# for (sort { lc($foo{$a}) cmp lc($foo{$b}) } @S) { print $foo{$_}, "\n"; }
-for (sort Alpha @S) { print $foo{$_}, "\n"; }
-
-sub Alpha { lc($foo{$a}) cmp lc($foo{$b}); }
-----
-[Output]
-Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-----
-However, if you comment out the "sort Alpha" and uncomment the "sort
-{lc(...) cmp lc(...) }" line, everything works as expected. Also note
-that if you uncomment both "sort"s, everything also works as expected.
-Do-do-do-do [twilight zone music :-].

-PS: Does anyone actually care about these bug reports? I thought I
- remember Larry saying that he preferred them in c.l.p., but it
- wouldn't be the first time my memory has fritzed.
