There are file handles involved. You can't fork with an open file and expect to be able to do things with it from each process, at least not without awareness and coordination between them. I don't know enough about BDB internals to say for sure what would happen, but this sort of thing is often a problem with forking servers. - Perrin -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
