in thread Perl system command memory usage in threads

Well, upgrading the vm to perl 5.20.2 seems to have actually fixed the problem. So it looks like the bug was in perl 5.18, maybe specifically perl 5.18 on a VM or Server 2008? Dunno, very weird. At least it's an easy work around.

Also, this seemed to have solved my second question as well...no more hanging from the un-synchronized system commands. Go figure

Thank you for taking the time to help! Much appreciated

    Cool. Glad you have a solution. Looks like I need to complete my transition to 5.20.
