This is a bug report for perl from l.mai at web.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Hello,

$ perl -e 'unpack "(Z*)*", "a"'
$ perl -e 'unpack "(Z*)*", "aa"'
Segmentation fault
$

It looks like unpack crashes if there's more than one non-null character in
the source string.
