   But wait, there's more!  I had to edit config.sh before extracting to

   d_charsprf='undef'

I've been getting 'Out of memory!' messages from the perl debugger
when single stepping through functions.  These remained even after
compiling without optimization and with -g on.  This was on a machine
with lots of real and virtual memory.

They went away when I used the perl-supplied malloc.  Oops.
