With some trial-and-error I came up with the attached script - that's the shortest script I can get to crash. It crashes on the second run: $ ./crash.pl $ ./crash.pl Segmentation fault $ There's an exit() call in there, but I'm not sure if it is the cause of the problem: My original script segfaults even if I remove all calls to exit(). However, so far I haven't seen any segfaults with scripts that wouldn't terminate with exit() or die(). Thanks Tomaž
