<masak> rakudo: / <[\x10000..\xEFFFF]> /; say "alive"
<p6eval> rakudo 5351a3: ( no output )
<masak> pmichaud: is this a known issue?
<masak> locally, I had a bus error.
<pmichaud> masak: not known issue
* masak submits rakudobug
<pmichaud> I'm guessing parrotbug :-)
<masak> PGE-bug, possibly.
<masak> pmichaud: note that it hangs during execution, not during compilation.
<pmichaud> rakudo: / <[\x100..\xEFF]> /; say "alive"
<p6eval> rakudo 5351a3: OUTPUT«alive␤»
<pmichaud> PGE gets that one right.
<masak> and the hex numbers have to be high enough for it to trigger.
<pmichaud> right
<pmichaud> I suspect that Parrot strings are having difficulty with it.
