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

eval q!format=
@​
for(0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
