Wow, that does sound like a lot of bad juju going on. I hope using your test case Tim (or someone else who knows more about DBI than me-- which is easy :-) can pinpoint the problem areas and we can squash the bugs before 5.8.1. Within a few weeks I'm hoping to put out a Release Candidate One of sorts for 5.8.1, hopefully you'll be able to test it. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
