Segfault in 5.10.1

[Ilya Zakharevich]

Have not seen segfaults in "recent" Perls for quite a long time (at
least not in scripts which were working for decades ;-).

powdermilk:/tmp->perl -wle 'local *kid = q(abc); $kid[0] =~ /[9k]/'
Segmentation fault
Exit 139

Is it fixed in newer Perls?

Thanks,
Ilya
