anyone knows why $subject should be happening? it doesn't
crash with every search, but if it fails once with a lookup
for a certain file, if fails with it always. as you can see
below, whereis whereis is fine, whereis bash crashes.
I should note that I noticed it 10 minutes ago. I don't think
it was happening before, but it just might: one of my
colleagues turned the plug off this machine couple of hours
ago... but fsck went fine... so?

ummm... looks like the FreeBSD whereis is actually a perl
script, so it's perl that is dumping core. I haven't touched
perl on this machine, but just in case:
[cynic /]$ perl -V
