On my Win32 machine, this crashes perl.exe in perl-5.8.2 and perl-5.8.3,
but runs fine (just says "Boo at ...", and doesn't crash) with
perl-5.8.4 and bleadperl.

Ok, I just compiled a 5.8.4, and can confirm that it also runs without
problems on linux. So likely this is already solved and can be closed.

Yes, I think it was fixed by change #22182, which was integrated into
5.8.4.
