This​:

  sub foo {
  map {
  while (1) {} ;
  } @​wits_end ;
  }

  BEGIN {
  die ;
  }

Never dies. It sucks up all CPU instead.

This​:

  sub foo1 {
  map {
  ;
  } @​wits_end ;
  }

  sub foo2 {
  map {
  while ($i) {}
  } @​wits_end ;
  }

  die ;

dies nicely. Haven't checked under _60 (let alone _61).

Never dies. It sucks up all CPU instead.

A progress report​:

I took a peek with gdb, and it's stuck in Perl_ck_grep running round a
small circular list of items
  pp_nextstate->pp_stub->pp_unstack

We need to see where that came from... fold_constants getting confused?
