The following test program gives this error:

Bizarre copy of ARRAY in sassign at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Carp/Heavy.pm line 45.

Tested on the 5.8.x branch and on perl-current.

use Carp;

sub do_carp { print Carp::longmess; }

sub call_with_args { my ($arg_hash, $func) = @_; $func->(@{$arg_hash->{'args'}}); }

my $h = {}; # Deleting the undef makes it all work again! my $arg_hash = {'args' => [undef]}; call_with_args($arg_hash, sub { $arg_hash->{'args'} = []; do_carp(sub { $h; }); });
