This is a bug report for perl from sergey.aleynikov@​gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.29.9.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

While fuzzing perl v5.29.9-63-g2496d8f3f7 built with afl and run
under libdislocator, I found the following programs

qr/(?{})\N{}/;while(my($0)=0){}
qr/(?{})\N{}/;while(my($0)){}
qr/(?{})\N{}/;

I looked at the final one in detail. What is happening here is that the
\N{} is an error, and it sets a flag to indicate to not try to compile
the pattern, but parsing continues to try to find other errors. At some
point later, op.c line 827 sees that flag and returns 'o' without
proceeding. Later an assertion fails in op_free(). My guess is that
it's something that op_free is counting on that got skipped when line
827 returned from its function early.

But I'm hoping someone more familiar with this area of the core will
look at it.

to cause different assertion failures and/or straight out crashes.
