	we are using FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE, majordomo-1.92 and perl-4.036.

	ther is a memory leak in eval statements in perl, but i suffer
	from that as well, and it does not stop us ;)

	check your wrapper configuration.   i got bit by your problem once
	but it was a long time ago and i do not remember the cause ;(
