Ok... this is one of the strangest problems I have ever run across.

I have an in-house fastcgi-type code all in perl.
When the environment data has been gathered from the incoming call I assign it to the local environment with the code %ENV = %env I am running across a problem where ONE of the fastcgis fails from this. But it is not this directly... any IO that happens afterwards seems to end the program, with an exit value of 512 (2). A print to STDOUT dead. A file open, dead. Nedermeyer, DEAD!

Does anybody have any idea what the heck could be causing this? If I remove the ENV line, it works, if I change it to a for loop assignment, this FCGI succeeds, but another fails.

And WHERE is the exit value of 2 coming from?

Can anyone point me in a direction to start?
