Re: [Slashcode-development] Perl -V info related to freshenup.pl hanging problem

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

OK, now this one is from my home system.  Which also has the problem 
when freshenup.pl tries to do a new article, except there is no perl 
malloc() message.

Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 8 subversion 0) configuration:

Here is what slashd.log looks like at the time of the hang:
