And again, this time with a patch:

https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=127810

I think that we would want to apply this as soon as practical (assuming
it gets merged to blead) but I'm not sure if that extends as far as
us patching 5.24 in Debian. An experimental rebuild would be worthwhile,
at least.
