in thread Different perl behavior between V5.10 and V5.14

Is this #107216? Why it's not backported to Perl 14? Looks like a serious bug.

    Unlikely: the patch in that ticket is for the POSIX module, and was included in 5.15.7.
    Why it's not backported to Perl 14?
    Because our procedures for backporting fixes are a bit haphazard. Also, the 5.14.x branch is unlikely to have any further releases.
