[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.
