Hi guys.

I found the reason why some scripts like otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl and
 *otrs.GenericAgent.pl
<http://otrs.GenericAgent.pl> *are not working properly. There is a
external customer backend in our OTRS system hosted at SQL Server 2012
connecting through ODBC. When I turn off this setting in Config.pm, that
scripts can do its job. When I turn on this setting (it should be enable)
and perform that scripts in debug mode, the error message *Segmentation
Fault *shows up.

Have you ever seen a issue like that ?

Best Regards,

Willian Silva.
