Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a bunch of cron programs that run from time to time to update various tables in my site's database. I'm getting some strange errors on occation. Has anyone else ever seen this? For example, I'll get maybe one error e-mailed to me each day from a script that runs every 5 minutes. I can't figure out what could possibly cause this. And the error doesn't come at the same time of day, either. Sometimes in the middle of the day, other times at night. And the errors are not always the same! Here's a sample: One error: Can't setup DBI handle of Mysql::st=HASH(0x80596a0) to DBD::mysql::st_mem: unknown _mem package at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/DBI.pm line 657. Another one I get from time to time: Illegal instruction - core dumped These are all Perl scripts here. And about all they do is connect to the mySQL DB, run a couple queries, and exit. Nothing complicated. What could this possibly be? Or where should I start looking? I'm at a loss here.
