I need some help. plz and thx. I just ran across outgoing.pl exiting on signal 11 (core dumped) when I happened to be running top and saw perl eating up to 100% CPU on outgoing.pl and then got the core dump message in the server's log/messages file. I then tried running it from the command line and same thing. But an hour later it was fine and ran normally. Now I was looking through the messages log for other core dumps and found a bunch, but totally random (on the 9th twice, 10th six times, 11th three times, 12th twice, 13th five times and 14th six times). So it's been going on for a while.

I have no clue where to begin looking for what might be causing this, outgoing is set to run every 15 minutes and I've not yet started it under mod_perl. When I did get the error when running it from the command line, I got an out of memory error. I have 1G ram and 500M swap on the machine and there's always plenty free. My outgoing.pl is listed at v1.27 and GMail is 2.06 upgrade.

Where can/should I start to figure this out?
