Okay.  This is really weird now.  I've seen where two people besides
myself have had this problem and another ran the code on both the 68k
and ppc and didn't have a problem.

For anyone else who has seen this problem, I'd like to gather the
scripts you saw it with (or just run the one I had the problem with
and see if it happens).  Along with the scripts, I'd like to know
what version of MacPerl you're using, what your machine's hw/sw
configuration is, and any other pertinent details you can think
of.  I will collect the scripts and machine configurations and
summarize them.  Maybe some common thread will appear that will
help solve the problem.
