Description

The following PIR program produces a segfault on my system (r48766):

pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ cat y.pir
.sub 'main' :main
    $P1 = new ['ResizablePMCArray']
    $I0 = 0
  loop:
    unless $I0 < 20000 goto done
    $P2 = new ['Integer']
    assign $P2, $I0
    push $P1, $P2
    inc $I0
    goto loop
  done:
    say 'about to join'
    $S0 = join ' ', $P1
    say $S0
.end

pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ ./parrot y.pir
about to join
Segmentation fault
pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ 

This problem has apparently existed since at least Parrot 2.6.0. Lowering the size of the array to 10,000 elements avoids the segfault, but in Rakudo even much smaller list sizes (200) can cause weird things to appear:

pmichaud@orange:~/rakudo$ ./perl6
> for 1..200 { $_ }
