$ perl -Mbigrat -e 'sqrt(2)'
Segmentation fault

This happens on 64 bit linux (debian) and Mac OS X (Snow Leopard). Both are
running the perl that came with the system. I also tested with the git
version of perl 5.11 on Mac OS X in Dec. 2009 and it had the same bug. I
have not tested on perlblead since then.

The problem seems to be that a Math​::BigInt object (from the value 2)
is being passed Math​::BigFloat​::bsqrt().

Line 2097 of Math​::BigFloat then attempts to copy the mantissa (_m)
but since $x isn't a Math​::BigFloat it passes undef to the _copy()
method.

So x at Math​::BigInt​::FastCalc line 117 is an undef SV, the SvRV()
call returns NULL, and av_len() segfaults or fails the assertion.

I believe this is a bug in bignum or Math-BigInt and I've reported it
upstream as​:

Since blead is now upstream for Math​::BigInt, can we please re-open this ticket?
