The first time Perl tries to croak while running under -d\, the message comes out as "Assertion failed​: file "pp_ctl.c"\, line 2430"​:

main​::(-e​:1)​: 0   DB\<1> $a = \<   Assertion failed​: file "pp_ctl.c"\, line 2430\, \ line 1.

  DB\<2> $a = \<   Unterminated \<> operator at (eval 5) line 2\, \ line 2.

Perl_croak() call DB​::dbdie; this in turn calls Carp​::longmess. The first call to Carp​::longmess loads Carp​::Heavy and this messes up the runlevel.

Workaround​:

  setenv PERL5DB 'BEGIN { require Carp​::Heavy; require "perl5db.pl"; }'
