perl 3.0 patch #15 (combined patch)
In patch 13, there was a fix to make the VAR=value construct in a command force interpretation by the shell. This was botched, causing an argv list to be occasionally allocated with too small a size. This problem is hidden on some machines because of BSD malloc's semantics. The lib/dumpvar.pl file was missing final 1; which made it difficult to tell if it loaded right. The lib/termcap.pl Tgetent subroutine didn't interpret ^x right due to a missing ord(). In the section of the man page that gives hints for C programmers, it falsely declared that you can't subscript array values. As of patch 13, this statement is "inoperative". The t/op.sleep test assumed that a sleep of 2 seconds would always return a value of 2 seconds slept. Depending on the load and the whimsey of the scheduler, it could actually sleep longer than 2 seconds upon occasion. It now allows sleeps of up to 10 seconds.
