I tracked down the bug that caused Devel::Size to segfault when tracing some code refs under perl 5.8.x (where .x is less than .7). One of the optree nodes was being mis-identified somewhere, either by my code or by some of the perl internals, dunno which. Don't care which, I suppose.
Anyway, Devel::Size 0.63 is off to CPAN, and should fix all the known issues that Devel::Size has. Now all that's left to do is finish figuring out how big the regex nodes are (and where they're stored) and final bits digging out format memory usage.
