I have a perl script which seems to work well most of the time but every
now and then it dies with a message like:

panic: hint in do_match at /usr/local/sh/ts line 573

Can anyone tell me what could cause this ?

Because I can't get it to repeat often enough I can't narrow it down.
I looked in the source and it's got something to do with whether a
variable called "hint" is defined.

It could very well just be a bug in my program but it's about 900 lines
of perl, so if someone could give me a starting point I'd be most grateful.

Thanks.
