Thanks for the report. 

The crash becomes an assertion failure with debugperl:

Assertion ((XPVCV*)((void *) ((outside)->sv_any)))->xcv_padlist failed: file "pad.c", line 1482 at f.pl line 14.

This is upstream ticket [perl #22977] (and [perl #50528]) and it was fixed
for 5.12.0 by change 421f30ed1e95009450bdc7905bf3433ee806ea4f.

I'll look at backporting this for 5.10.1.
