perl 3.0 patch #41 (combined patch)
Here's the requisite dinky patch to fix the problems of the preceding large set of patches. In this case, a couple of malloc/free problems--one of which involved overrunning the end of an allocated string, and the other of which involved freeing with invalid pointers. (There was also a bug in there involving variable magicalness propagating incorrectly, which resulting in a dbm anomoly.) I updated README to mention that dnix needs to avoid -O. I added the hp malloc union overhead strut that Jan Dr{rv posted. (Eventually this should be determined by Configure, but laziness has its advantages.)
