We also get the bad free() on a decstation 5000/200 (PXG 8 planes).

Perhaps more interesting 3 of the tests fail when compiled with -O
	op/eval test 9
	op/s    test 40
	lib/big test 0
(..bad free()... and
../lib/bigint.pl did not return a true value at .lib/big.t line 2)

Without -O we get only the bad free()
and the msg all tests successful.

Any ideas if the three failed tests represent a compiler bug or a
coding problem?
