Nah, I just used good old-fashioned approaches the "remove/disable chunks of code till the problem goes away" :) Since "use DBI; clone" was enough to trigger it, I first disabled CLONE, then _clone_dbis, then parts of dbi_bootinit if a parent was supplied. Didn't take long. Far easier than some problems in the past! > Looking forward to your comments on the Oracle patch Me too - time hasn't allowed me to look at it yet. Tim.
