i have quite a heavy catalogger program, that uses DB_File BTrees for it's
indexes. The program ran very well till i upgraded to perl 5.6.1r1, but macperl
itself was not very stable. The problem now is that occasionally the script
stops.
i don't know how to use the debugger, and learning will be my next step, if no
one can help. i've set the -w switch, am using strict, and sub END prints $! and
$^E. neither is set when the program stops on it's own. it stops in the middle
of a specific subroutine, the one that does lexical parsing and cataloggin, at
it's very end, usually a bit before.
i have reasons to believe that this is a memory problem, mainly because the more
memory macperl has, the better this works, but there are no out of memory
complaints, or the panic msg.
