$ ./perl6 -e 'while ("test" ~~ /(es)/) { say $0; exit; }'
Null PMC access in get_pmc_keyed_int()

Segmentation fault

FWIW, the error shows up in r30503, whose slightly Orwellian message
reads "[rakudo] allow access to $/, $!, $_ in while loops, closes RT
#​58306".

FYI I added tests for that to t/spec/S05-match/blocks.t

This was resolved in a commit earlier today (same one that fixed a very
similar bug in if blocks). Also now unskipped some tests in the
mentioned test file.
