This is a bug report for perl from Niko Tyni <nty...@debian.org>,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.10.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
The optimization of empty DESTROY methods introduced in commit
fbb3ee5af3d4 causes a null pointer dereference when a destructor is
declared but not defined.

% perl -e 'sub M::DESTROY; bless {}, "M"'
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) 

This is seen in the real world with AutoLoader / AutoSplit, where
the crash prevents autoloading a DESTROY method.

 http://bugs.debian.org/564074

Blead backtrace:

Core was generated by `./miniperl -e sub M::DESTROY; bless {}, "M"'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix a NULL pointer dereference when looking for a DESTROY method

The empty DESTROY method optimization introduced by commit
fbb3ee5af3d would crash the interpreter if a DESTROY method
was declared but not actually defined.

This is seen in the real world with AutoLoader / AutoSplit,
where the crash defeats autoloading a DESTROY method.
