Description
mark indexes (which point to the beginning of a list on the value stack) are I32, this means that a list that starts above the 2**32 item mark typically crashes perl.
Steps to Reproduce
# no error, but warning: uses 48GB virtual memory
$ ./perl -Ilib -E 'my @x; $x[0x7FFF_FFF0] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
# crash:
$ ./perl -Ilib -E 'my @x; $x[0x8000_0000] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
Segmentation fault
$ gdb --args ./perl -Ilib -E 'my @x; $x[0x8000_0000] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
