The patch below fixes this -- remember me saying that I had to put the 
`mult_isarr = isarr' further up than I would have done if the singleton-
array-to-string conversion hadn't been there?

The second example now works for me, too. I couldn't get it to hang,
though. However, in the shell I tested it I have the magic hashes from 
6198 where a simple `typeset' could cause the shell to SEGV -- if you
have that in the shell you tried this with, too, you'll better remove
it -- I hope to send a patch for a module with those special
parameters this week anyway.
