I believe I have found the problem, thanks to Mark's direction. I wrote a quick script to dump most of the information to a file (except the perlrun stuff) on all four of the servers and diffed them. All the three servers which failed also had
%ENV: PERLIO="stdio" while monitor did not. I unset that environment variable, and ran the test file, and it performed perfectly. I'm still trying to figure out where that variable gets set, but I have just turned on amavis on the Zimbra server. Thus far, everything looks great. I want to thank everyone, especially Mark and Gary for their help. --b ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Martinec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 2:05:16 PM GMT-0500 US/Eastern Subject: Re: [AMaViS-user] Bad file descriptor errors with AMaVIS under Bradley, > So I ran it on a couple of other boxes, monitor has identical hardware, > defiant, my Athlon-XP workstation and riogrande, my HP Pentium-M laptop: Thanks, interesting. > So it works fine on monitor, but not on merrimac or defiant.

Few closest things to look for (just educated guess): - how Perl was compiled (compare the output form $ perl-V on these hosts); - what versions of shared libraries it uses ($ ldd /usr/bin/perl ), concentrating on libc.so.6; - locale setting (shown by a command $ locale ); - does fiddling with Perl command line option -C change anything? (man perlrun); - OS kernel version; Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
