I was never able to figure out that exact error but I think it had something
to do with DBI trying (unsucessfully) to load DBD::Oracle twice. That is, I
would only see it from my log handler after my content handler bombed for
the other reasons listed in the thread. In both cases I was just use()ing
DBI and relying on DBI to pull in DBD::Oracle (however it does that)

I have experience with this on both solaris and linux - the below patch
helped on both platforms.
no experience on HP for me, though.
