[Slashcode-development] perl malloc() recursive call

[Marc M. <mwm...@ro...>]

Has anyone ever run into this problem as shown below?  It seems to 
happen sometimes when an article is being updated.  I am running my site 
on a different system.  There seems to have been a similar problem 
discussed on Slashcode before here:

perl in malloc(): warning: recursive call
Out of memory!

I am running this on a different system, but had run into a similar 
problem before where there would just be no more output to slashd.log. 
 It seemed to be running better when I added a print statement to 
freshenup.pl right after the prog2file call that caused the hang.  I 
suspect this is the same problem.
