You are absolutely correct. We do indeed get segfault errors in the
basic error log. We have perl 5.8.7, so I guess that segfault issue is
still around.
This error BTW is actually not the error I was looking at, because my
error was the one I managed to trap via 'eval', and send myself error
reports about it. The logged segfault entries don't have the same
timestamps as the error messages I got, which means that there are some
errors I wasn't even aware of.
They are quite possibly related, but in neither case do I have any idea
of how to work with it. The segfaults I can't even trap and handle, and
the 'dir_config' error is trappable, but it seems to relate to some sort
of symbol table corruption (i.e. the class in question simply doesn't
seem to have the method 'dir_config' ever once in a while), and I am not
sure how to work around it.
Still, at least I have a better idea as to what could be the culprit
here. Thanks.
