hi folks,
i played around with ActiveState's ActivePerl for Win32, and crashed Perl.exe with the following command:
perl -e "$a="A" x 256; system($a)"
I wonder if this bug isnt known?!? Because system() is a very common command.... Can anybody reproduce this?
I put together a little advisory on my website, including version information and a debugger output (Drwatson):

Regards,
Oliver
