The fact that perl crashes is, IMO, a perl bug, which still needs to be
fixed. Perl shouldn't *crash* (i.e., segfault). It could report an out

Dave,
Some comments on your analysis.
The latest perl uses auto-image-base and the base address should be
different than default. It fails anyway.
Perl uses its own malloc, rebuilding with the system malloc shows
that it behaves similar than the C examples, I think the recent

I've simplified the test case. It seems that Cygwin perl can't handle

This requires about 525 MB

You do realize you have infinite recursion here, right? So you're most
