With my changes, when I try to run the test suite (after copying the
files 1 at a time, unfortunately), I run out of memory before a single
test runs.  Even in Platform Builder's CE emulator with 256 megabytes
allocated to the emulator.

9 times out of 10, the stack trace when it prints the error message is:

PERL58!emergency_sbrk()  line 1234
PERL58!getpages()  line 1704 + 8 bytes
PERL58!morecore()  line 1951 + 16 bytes
PERL58!Perl_malloc()  line 1466
PERL58!Perl_realloc()  line 2295 + 8 bytes
PERL58!Perl_push_scope()  line 134 + 28 bytes
PERL58!Perl_pp_enter()  line 1702
PERL58!Perl_runops_standard()  line 37 + 24 bytes
PERL58!S_run_body()  line 2003
PERL58!perl_run()  line 1923
PERL58!RunPerl()  line 231 + 8 bytes
PERL!main()  line 36 + 28 bytes

I have no idea how to even start troubleshooting this problem.  Any
suggestions?
