Thanks for the reply. I was able to try this under version 5.004_04 of Perl
(still on HP-UX). Unfortunately, it still fails with the same error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ mk_test
Reading resource file: /usr/warts/totem/lib/majordomo/rcfile ...
Converting messages to avo_expert
Reading /usr/warts/totem/lib/majordomo/archive/avo_expert ......................
......
Writing mail .Attempt to free unreferenced scalar at /home/bruceh/net/mhonarc/MH
onArc2.3.3/install/mhamain.pl line 148.
./mk_test[17]: 10717 Bus error
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have some "earlier" versions of Perl (5.001, 5.003) that I could try to
see if this problem exists with those versions.
Any other suggestions of things to try?
