I haven't run into the particular case you describe, but I have had similar experiences. I suggest you try replacing the log4perl call with a simple sleep 1;. If that fixes your problem as well, you probably have a strange syntax error -- one that the compiler doesn't puke on, but causes your logic to behave oddly. Somtimes the extra, seemingly meaningless call will "fix" the problem. (Well, not fix...)

If that isn't it, I would post the relevant snippets of your code into your question so we can pick it apart. :)
