From @rurban

This is a bug report for perl from rurban@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.6 (MSWin32)
and 5.8.7 (cygwin).

B::Lint 1.03 misses the definition for B::SPECIAL::lintcv

I silenced that by adding

sub B::SPECIAL::lintcv {
my $sv = shift;
warn sprintf("B::SPECIAL::lintcv: %s (done=%d)\n",
$sv, $done_cv{$$sv});
}

This is probably not the right thing to do, but without I couldn't
Lint most of my scripts.

Sorry, no short testcase, but should be
obvious, because the new B::SPECIAL class is used in other
B modules as well, but not handled in B::Lint.

I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.8 and I'm seeing this problem. Do you know
if there is a fix available for this?

From @dcollinsn

A commenter believes this was fixed a decade ago. Can someone familiar with B::Lint comment, and determine whether a regression test is appropriate?

Given B::Lint is no longer in core, I think this case can be closed.
