That's me: totally insane. And proud of it ;-)

ps shows two processes running. One of them is:
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d
the other process's command is not shown entirely, just:
/usr/bin/perl /mnt/usbstick/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/Ba
(= a limitation of Busybox's ps-command)
but according to the logs I assume it must be BackupPC_trashClean.

'free' shows:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30412 22128 8284 0 2428
Swap: 500508 1020 499488
Total: 530920 23148 507772
After launching BackupPC_serverMesg it shows:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30412 29232 1180 0 2208
Swap: 500508 3232 497276
Total: 530920 32464 498456
Thus, neither memory nor swap space should be the problem, shouldn't it?

I installed all perl modules that openwrt offers, plus the ones needed until
configure.pl worked without any errors.

No, I did not, because unlike Ted Carnahan I installed Openwrt using the
standard method (i.e. on flash memory) and then installed perl, the perl
modules and BackupPC on an usb-stick, creating symlinks for /usr/local,
/var/log/BackupPC, /usr/lib/perl5, /usr/bin/perl, /usr/bin/perl5.10.0 to the
according directories/files on /mnt/usbstick

After installing the previously missing perl modules: Yes, it did perfectly
well.
Is there any way to narrow the possible reasons down?
Thanks!
