I'm seeking enlightment on the following wierd problem. I'm using DBI 1.14 vs. Oracle 8.1.7 database. After disconnecting from the database i get a core dump, if the script ends. If the script runs a while after the disconnect everything seems perfect. This leads to a core dump in 50 to 70 % 
#! /soft/perl5/bin/perl
require DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect(
"dbi:Oracle:",
"v3fadm",
"v3fadm",
{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 }
);
$dbh->disconnect;

This works perfect 
#! /soft/perl5/bin/perl
require DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect(
"dbi:Oracle:",
"v3fadm",
"v3fadm",
{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 }
);
$dbh->disconnect;
sleep 1000;

The only difference is the sleep 1000 at the end of the script. If there were some other statements which take some time, it would do the same. The sleep 1000 seems to be some kind of work-around, at least keeps the manager from kicking my butt, but is somewhat unsatisfying.
