Negative repeat count does nothing

Seeing these warnings when running RT under perl 5.22.1: Negative repeat count does nothing at /opt/rt4/perl/lib/site_perl/5.22.1/Text/Quoted.pm line 244. Which appears to be from this new warning: http://perldoc.perl.org/perldiag.html#Negative-repeat-count-does-nothing
