<masak> could someone try and reproduce this?
https://gist.github.com/masak/5505540 -- I thought we had gotten rid
of those problems, but it seems not :/
<masak> hm, I can create a Perl script that just recreates q from hex numbers...
<FROGGS> .u
<yoleaux> U+2014 EM DASH [Pd] ( )
<FROGGS> this might cause it
<FROGGS> last text line col 89
<flussence> ...*sigh*
<flussence> that char is RIGHT ON a 1024-byte boundary
<FROGGS> masak​: shortest example evar!!​: perl6 -e 'qx[perl6 -e "say 1
x 2047,q| |" | cat]'
<masak> FROGGS++
* masak submits rakudobug
<FROGGS> looks like chunksize is 2048
<FROGGS> since 1023 and 2048 is fine
<masak> in short, Parrot blows chunks. and it's not pretty.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug on my system. Can we get more
details, such as Rakudo version, Parrot version, and ICU version?

Thanks,
