This is a monthly report by Dave Mitchell on his grant under Perl 5 Core Maintenance Fund. We thank the TPF sponsors to make this grant possible.
This mainly consisted in tracking down a (harmless as it turned out)
off-by-one error in Cwd.xs, which I thought was being flagged up by
valgrind. As it turned out, the valgrind report was a false positive caused
by a bug in valgrind when perl is built with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE, and I
found the Cwd bug by manual code inspection of the area complained about
by valgrind!
