perl on dec 5000, ultrix 4.0.

fails tests 40-42 in op.s, all having to do with $&.
fails tests 8 and 9 in op.eval, dealing with recursive evals.

I get a warning from the compiler like so for eval.c (2601), toke.c (2089),
teval.c (2618), and yylex (2089), also walk.c from x2p (1510).

uopt: Warning: %s: this procedure not optimized because it 
      exceeds size threshold; to optimize this procedure, use -Olimit option
      with value >= %d.

next step is to try to compile these routines as optimized.
