I have suggested the G_KEEPERR patch for 1o to Andy. Meanwhile,
you can get it from:

I saw some bugs that were gone as of 5.001m that were marked "unresolved"
and reported them a while back. I might do that again if I get some
time today evening.

I try to keep the patches on the site above relevent to the most
current (unofficial) patchlevel. I haven't looked at all of the
recent patches to 1n, and will add them in time.

OK, here are the "severe" bugs that are fixed in 1n, but still marked as
"unresolved" in the bugs list:

NETaa14696 951007 N 2 Tom Christiansen small bad free text case
NETaa14438 950724 N 2 Ilya Zakharevich tkperl -d bug
NETaa14421 950717 N 2 Anthony Heading $_ doesn't undef
NETaa13753 950314 N 2 Trey Boudreau P-magic doesn't interpolate right

Check out what 1n prints for Tom's testcase in NETaa14696, by the way :-)

The following are the same (should be filed under same number):

NETaa14751 951023 N 2 Tim Bunce array of undefs is falsely false
NETaa14680 950919 N 2 Michael Peppler Testing an array with undef values in it

Of course I issued patch.1n *after* Tom updated the bug list. Still,
grep NET patch.1n
should give a list of at least some of the Bugs addressed by patch.1n.

In some cases, I wasn't able to identify a particular entry with a
particular patch, but I included the patch anyway.

I'll get an update pretty soon.

Here are my patches that are marked as unresolved today (or missing
from DB):

NETaa14715 was hit by mimimod.pm change, I have a newer variant.

NETaa14715 951010 N 2 Ilya Zakharevich C++ perl
NETaa14099 950318 N 3 Ilya Zakharevich possible bug with overloading
NETaa14753 951025 N 3 Ilya Zakharevich debugging with autoload

Segfault in pp_caller will probably be NETaa14843 or so.

Patches for Carp will probably be NETaa14817 or so.
