I'm working on a fairly large database-driven HTML::Mason application, and seeing this error show up in the log files, seemingly at random:

Bizarre copy of HASH in aassign at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Devel/StackTrace.pm line 67

That's StackTrace 1.03, and line 67 simply says "my @a = @DB::args". What's really weird is that I can't figure out where/how Devel::StackTrace is even getting pulled in.

The box is running RedHat 9, Apache/1.3.27, mod_perl/1.27.

I'd paste in some code, but there's really quite a lot of it, and it doesn't die in the same place consistently. Can anybody recognize what's going on, despite the skimpiness of the report?
