$ perl6 —ll-exception -e 'my @a = (^10000)>>.Str' segfaults,

$ perl6 —ll-exception -e 'my @a = (^1000)>>.Str’ doesn’t


testing with some values, it looks like any value beyond 9700 makes it almost always crash. Just below that it only crashes occasionally.

This is Rakudo version 2017.07-84-gc1e41f9 built on MoarVM version 2017.07-253-g82c282e

It could be that the commit i just pushed to moarvm fixes this, please
verify (the code doesn't crash with the patch)

Closable with rakudo tests then.

Actually, I've been trying to reproduce it on the said revision with --profile,
--ll-exception and whatnot, and I can't. I think this is an issue on OS X and
therefore should be confirmed (and tested) on OS X also.
