Bug#580334: perl (armel/experimental): FTBFS: op/range.t failure

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perl
Version: 5.12.0-1
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.12-transition

We don't seem to have an armel experimental buildd running, but a manual
build on agricola.d.o shows a reproducible failure in t/op/range.t test 41.

A standalone test is

 perl -e '"-2" =~ /(.+)/; @foo=(); push @foo, $_ for $1..undef; print @foo ? "ok\n" : "not ok\n"'

Compiling sv.c with -O0 instead of -O2 fixes it, so it may well be a
compiler bug.  Will investigate more.

For future reference, this is with gcc-4.4 4.4.4-1.
