Package: perl

Severity: important
Hi
[141]/> perl -e '$a="x"x100000; $a !~
/^(?:[\x{00}-\x{7f}]|[\x{80}-\x{255}]{2,})*$/'
Memory fault (core dumped)
I found this problem while working on doc-base package. With the above regex
I wanted to check if the line seems to be encoded in UTF-8, but it segfaulted
on the /usr/share/doc-base/udk-common-ref and /usr/share/doc-base/udk-java-ref
files from openoffice.org-dev package, because both of them contain a line
above
100000 chars long.
Regards,
robert
