Run these commands, one with and one without internal segfault:

  perl -e 'print qx(perl -e "\$| = 1; print qq(output\n); 1 && dump()"); print "Core dumped\n" if $? & 128'

  perl -e 'print qx(perl -e "\$| = 1; print qq(output\n); 0 && dump()"); print "Core dumped\n" if $? & 128'

You should remember to remove core files if any (named like core or
perl.core or core.12345, depending on the OS).

Regards,
Mikhael.
