generated with the help of perlbug 1.32 running under perl v5.7.0.

No, do not ask me how it may be have 0.025 bytes per iteration, but
the following code leaks:

  eval q( sub ($$) {} )

I suspected a  similar bug  (but with  4 bytes  per  iteration) while
reading the code for 5.005_64 (SvPOK_off in cv_undef()).  It looks
like it is in 5.7.0 too (two invocations differ by the argument 100000
vs 200000 only):

 env PERL_DEBUG_MSTATS=1 ./perl -wle '$i = shift; 			 $s = eval q( sub ($$) {} ) while --$i'
 100000
