+Subject: [PATCH] [perl #111610] Trouble with XS-APItest/t/clone-with-stack.t
+
+I ran into a bit of a problem when building perl-5.16.0.
+'make test' showed a segfault in ext/XS-APItest/t/clone-with-stack.t.
+It seems to be caused by accessing already freed memory, it
+segfaults because I have MALLOC_PERTUBE_ set, thus glibc fills
+freed memory with some value.
+
+Digging deeper, it seems like perl_clone() does not fix
+the cx's blk_oldcop element when doing context cloning, thus
+blk_oldcop still points to PL_compiling in the old interp--the
+calling scope for the BEGIN block being the compilation of the
+code surrounding it--and the POPBLOCK done in leavesub will copy
+the data from the old interp to PL_curcop.
+
+After fixing this, it still crashed because interp_dup->Iop was
+zero after the runops_standard() call (which is probably
+correct as the end of the BEGIN block was reached). So I
+also added an if statement that checks the pointer.
