That patch looks good, but do we want to look into the other point about
error recovery? The real bottom line here is that when SvPVutf8 threw a
croak(), we didn't recover sanely at all --- in fact, it was almost
impossible to tell what had happened even in gdb, until I installed
perl debugging symbols and single-stepped through things. I would have
hoped that we'd at least see the croak message. This seems a bit
nervous-making, as plperl sure calls a lot of stuff that in principle
could croak.
