after analyzing core dumps and other atrocities, i've found a simple solution to this problem. first of all, i'm assuming this problem only occurs when using a threaded perl. secondly, i haven't tested the workaround thoroughly enough to say that it doesn't break anything else. # the order of these statements is important! use AFS; use Thread; that's it. instantly, all my ptserver code ran flawlessly. if anyone has scripts that rely on other parts of the AFS module, i'd be interested to know if everything else still works. i'd also like to find a way to integrate this into AFS.pm so it's transparent to script writers, but i haven't had any luck so far... btw, this works with 3.4a-build 5.52 and later. i haven't tested it with anything earlier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Jeff Horwitz University of Michigan | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ann Arbor | | http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jhorwitz ITD Login Service | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > | Hello.
