I have known about the problem for a long time, because it was discussed
at a Rotterdam Perl Mongers meeting. Rotterdam.PM doesn't exist anymore,
so it must have been in the year 2002, I think.
Although I haven't encountered bugs because of this issue, I have been
careful not to use eval in DESTROY methods. Sometimes that's hard.
