+Subject: [PATCH] Fix STRLEN vs int pointer confusion in
+ Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj()
+
+Perl 5.37.2, more precisely commit
+
+ https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/1ef9039bccbfe64f47f201b6cfb7d6d23e0b08a7
+
+changed the implementation of SvPV() et al., breaking t/balloon.t,
+t/canvas2.t and t/photo.t on big-endian 64-bit architectures such as
+ppc64 and s390x because StringMatchGIF() no longer recognized GIF files.
+
+This is because Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj() was calling SvPV() with an int
+pointer instead of a correct STRLEN pointer, and the new implementation
+is more sensitive to this: it assigns the pointers as-is, resulting in
+the int pointer pointing at the wrong end of the 64-bit length.
+
+Other functions taking a length pointer, at least Tcl_GetStringFromObj()
+already seem to do things correctly, so presumably this is not a
+systematic issue.
