in thread [Solved] Request help for work around for bug in perl 5.10.1

At this point, it looks like the problem is instigated by the C program failing to properly close the socket after a previous communication. Unfortunately, Can't seem to reproduce the problem now.

+", line 5400 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/IO/Handle.pm line 48
+0.

    This is indeed in sv_clear as some mentioned earlier.
