I've encouontered this problem before on FreeBSD and have had some success working around it. One of the main problems seems to be with FreeBSD's Perl build picking Perl's malloc instead of the native FreeBSD malloc(). You can see how your perl is configured like this: $> perl -V:usemymalloc usemymalloc='y'; And if it's the case, my recommendation would be to rebuild your perl with the system malloc() and see if this problem goes away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philippe M.
