This may be due to a change I suggested a while back which
required perl 5.6 (or so) to work. The change was to ensure
that the file handle rdfile was closed when Rdconv was done
with it. If this is the problem, upgrading perl to 5.8 will
make it go away. Rdconv.pm should have a 'use v5.6' (or 5.8?)
line at the top if it wants to continue to use this syntax.
< open(rdfile, "<$Rdname") or die "Rdconv(): Couldn't open '$Rdfile': $!\n";
