When I try bisecting, it crashes for all perls I can compile.

Here is my one-liner version​:

$ ./miniperl -e '%​::=(); J->${\"​::"}'

gv_fetchpvn_flags assumes that $​::{"main​::"} holds a GV. If it does not, things go awry. %​::=() is what wipes $​::{"main​::"}. So the solution would be to restore *main​:: somewhere, but I am not sure which would be the best place to do it.
