Hello,

Sometimes our RequestTracker with perl 5.8.8 crashes
in Text​::Tabs​::expand.
This problem can be reproduced with​:

$_="a\x{111}\x{111}a\t";
s/\t/pos;' ';/eg;

It seems to be the same problem as in [perl #39893].

Regards
Christian Mittag

Hi,

The bug as you reported appears to be resolved in the latest blead.

I think its unlikely that this will be fixed in the 5.8.x line so I am
marking this bug as closed.

  $_="a\x{111}\x{111}a\t";
  s/\t/pos;' ';/eg;

Thank you very much for the report.

Cheers,
Yves

Hi,

Thank you for your report. This matter has been resolved in the latest
version of perl and is unlikely to be fixed in the 5.8.x line,
accordingly I have closed the ticket.

Cheers,
