> I'm using perl5.005_02 on NetBSD 1.5.2. hmm. bug in perl? mon doesn't do memory management. it relies on perl to take care of that, so it sounds like it's tripping a bug in perl. can you reproduce this, or is this the first time you noticed it? it would be useful to know if the problem goes away with a newer version of perl, such as 5.6.1. there was once some mon code which tripped a bug in perl's regexp library, and upgrading perl was the solution. i think there was even a mention of the bug in the changelog.
