Until you've (1) reduced this to the smallest possible code that will
generate the error and (2) identified the root cause of the error, you
should assume that the problem is in your code rather than elsewhere.

Thanks for getting back to me Tom.
The error shows up in the Apache error_log. The reg_system.cgi simply dies
to a blank screen.
I have yet to get a moment to get back to it. Today hopefully.
I might add, that the operational version of the opensrs code works fine,
with RACE enabled. It's only my modified version thats dying with RACE
enabled.
I'll send the tweeks later, but basically, all I have done is add a bit of
code to give the user a range of payment values in the [credit card] part,
which is then fed to the printer + an email of the details to me.
The whole thing worked fine before I CPAN'd the 5.6.1 to the system. I can
live without RACE for now on that interface, but am curious about the 'out
of memory' error. I'll locate the problem, because I don't want it biting me
later on in more important areas.
This is obviously in the Apache code somewhere. ????
I even 'stripped' the httpd binary thinking that may be it. nope.
well, back to it later.
Cheers
Robert
