Note the SA version mis-type - Mike meant 2.2. Ok, I'll bite. Ask your system admins, but most likely it's the same that's happening on my ISP's FreeBSD - the process is getting killed 'cause it exceeds single user process memory limits - don't know whether this is system configurable (seems unlikely it'd be a FreeBSD limit). The reaper does not always catch it, hence the intermittence. On our system, the limit is 8meg/process. Possible sollutions include, getting your admins to increase the memory limit; using another Perl compiler in hopes that it will be more memory conservative; or, and here I cringe, change SA so that it is more memory conservative. You may also want to see: http://www.rocketaware.com/perl/perlfaq3/How_can_I_make_my_Perl_program_t.htm, and some users on my system are getting some results by prefacing the SA command with 'nice -x' (seen man nice) to lower process priority.
