  • Was playing around, and it looks like there are some problems with MAIN if you don't pass the required arguments. Looks like it tries to mem_sys_free something inside of Parrot_really_destroy that wasn't actually allocated by the mem_sys functions.

    • Was this from running parrot perl6.pbc or perl6? There's an important (if subtle) difference. You probably won't see these errors from the former, if I'm right.

      • This was running it as perl6. I haven't tried it as perl6.pbc.
        • I suspect chromatic's guess is right - when exiting with an exception we often tend to get a double free like this. :-( It seems that it's a bug in Parrot rather than Rakudo and it shows up in other cases too (we've been seeing it for a little while now). So it's a problem that certainly needs tracking down and fixing (the first part really being the challenge here), but not specific to MAIN.
          Thanks for reporting,
