Hello, I had a similar problem with mp2 on windows. I was using Visual Studio .NET 2002 to compile mod_perl and this was the source of all evil. A bug in .NET. I had to download service pack 1 for .NET 2002 from microsoft.com and recompile mod_perl.
If this doesn't help you should supply a backtrace. (I hope you have visual studio?) First read this http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/devel/debug/c.html#Analyzing_Dumped_Core_Files then recompile your perl, apache and mod_perl with the debbuging flags. Then start your visual studio. Start your apache server and wait for the bad message window to appear again, and when it happens, click Cancel. A new window should show up asking you whether to use VS to debbug the application - click OK. Check "Native" for the "Program type to debug". If the call stack doesn't appear go to Debug->Windows->Call Stack. Then copy the stack and paste it here. It should be something like this: USER32.DLL!77e41706() perl58.dll!win32_msgwait(interpreter * my_perl=0x01a43a64, unsigned long count=0, void * * handles=0x00000000, unsigned long timeout=300000, unsigned long * resultp=0x00000000) Line 1950 + 0x18 C perl58.dll!win32_sleep(unsigned int t=300) Line 2135 + 0x16 C perl58.dll!PerlProcSleep(IPerlProc * piPerl=0x015d2780, unsigned int s=300) Line 1656 + 0x9 C++ perl58.dll!Perl_pp_sleep(interpreter * my_perl=0x01a43a64) Line 4535 + 0xb C >"Foo Ji-Haw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Hello all, > >I have set up my MP2 application, which in the course of development has been reasonably stable.
