I'm having a couple interesting issues with backticked commands performed via RPC[1] calls to another host. The first problem is that we will sporadically not get back the STDOUT from the process. The second problem is that, after a certain point, we will stop getting back proper return codes. It will just return -1. This seems to occur after we've fork()ed and then called a Perl script from within the fork (problems with reentrant libraries?). Both of these have occurred with Perl 5.8.x. These problems have been seen on HPUX, AIX, and Suse. This has never occurred on any of the Windows hosts that I've used. Thanks in advance for any help. This has been a real mind boggler.
