Doesn't seem to help. I'm thinking it isn't a sighandling issue at all. Here's what I see if I step through one of the non-dieing children with gdb: Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_regexec_flags, which has no line number information. Single stepping until exit from function Perl_taint_env, So I wonder if it is a non-terminating regex. Anybody else seeing anything like this? If it is a regex, got any hints for how to determine which one it is? Because I did update FreeBSD at the same time as this started happening, I'm going to go back to the version of SpamAssassin that was working for me previously; If it still breaks then ... I'm not sure what I'll do. -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontier Internet, Inc. http://www.frontier.net/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
