I experienced a very similar problem last week.  In fact, it was the
reason I joined this mailing list.  I never did get a satisfactory
answer, and I do not think anyone really understood my problem.
Although I have learned a bunch of other good stuff from this list, I
never solved my original problem.

In my case, an old CGI script that had worked for a year (actually, a
bunch of similar such CGI scripts) behaved as you describe.  After I
upgraded to Redhat 9 for security reasons, the upgrade to
perl-5.8.0-88.3 that came along for the ride with rh9 caused this
problem to occur.  I sure would like a solution.
