Description:   Opened: 2007-10-17 21:33 0000 
Mcl will sometimes break lines up into arbitrary chunks before sending them to
an embedded interpreter (e.g. Perl or Python.)  This can make regex matching
difficult.

These changes are really only extensively tested under BatMUD.  I know of one
rare segfault in the PERL plugin code that I haven't fixed.  It's very hard to
trigger, though.  I'll fix it as soon as I have a good reproducible test case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Uh, you'd have to run some custom Perl scripts inside mcl connected to your mud
of choice.



I've shared these changes with upstream, but have heard nothing yet.  I thought
for a while that I'd take up continuing mcl development, but it's been over a
year and I haven't done much.  I'm sharing this here in the hopes that others
may find it useful.

I've run this on multiple Gentoo (and Debian) systems, so I dunno which --info
would be relevant.

Yep.  Haven't heard back yet, but it's only been a few days.
