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.
