I have a nasty suspicion its Perl's gnarly unicode support porking itself...
What version of perl are you running? I've seen the same basic phenomenon on a few occasions, though only during development. I have this feeling that certain types of errors can have a bad effect on the state of the interpreter. Really don't have enough data to say for sure and it may even be some different problem entirely, or it could be related to maybe processing mixtures of ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 encoded data.
