Title:
  perl: segfault in Perl_sv_pos_b2u()

Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “perl” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Version: 5.8.8-12ubuntu0.5

  Here's a reproducable segfault that occurs with Request Tracker inside
  the Text::Tabs module. A minimal testcase is:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  use Encode;
  my $s = "\x{c3}\x{84}\x{54}\x{c3}\x{84}\x{5c}\x{9}";
  $_ = Encode::decode('utf8', $s);
  s{\t}{pos()}e; 

  It looks to be reported in Debian since Dec 26, 2004.

  Note that Redhat 5 perl-5.8.8 don't have this problem.
