Hi Michael -- > Please send me (not the list!) a stack trace from the core dump.
I think I may have fixed the problem. The solution was one or both of two things: 1. Recompiled Perl. Using the suggestion on your FAQ (http://www.mbay.net/~mpeppler/linux.html#q1.4), I compiled as follows: # rm -f config.sh Policy.sh \ && sh Configure -ders -Dlibs="-lnsl -lgdbm -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt" \ && make \ && make test 2. Disabled CVS keyword expansion. The compiled Sybase libraries are, in this system, checked into a CVS repository. When added, keyword expansion was not being explicitly disabled. I noticed that the binary contained a $Revision:$ CVS tag. This was being updated when I checked the files into CVS, causing the binary to be edited in-place. In my experience, this is a pretty sure-fire was to create a segfault. The problem was solved by "cvs rm"-ing the *.so files and re-adding them: # cvs add -kb <file names> If I get another fault I will be sure to email you (off list) the stack back trace. Thanks again for your help! -Jesse- -- Jesse Erlbaum The Erlbaum Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 212-684-6161 Fax: 212-684-6226
