At least, if it's a GC bug, it's in assuming that GC flags have any meaning outside of a GC run. I have a very strong inclination to revert the "Mark all STRINGs as live" change and fix all code that looks at GC flags outside of src/gc/*.c. I do hope that Perl 6 runs better on Win32 with the temporary fix though. -- c
