I have a cgi program that uses Net::Z3950.pm module, one of the methods fails and causes the cgi to die with this error:
 Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x13f5128 at 
/exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/app/perl-5.8.6/lib/site_perl/5.8.6/sun
 4-solaris/Event.pm line 102.
[Wed Jul 06 02:53:05 2005] [notice] child pid 12954 exit signal Bus  e
+rror (10)

[download]
the method fails due to a bug in the external module Event.pm it uses, the problem is that i dont know of any way to catch the error in order to prevent the cgi from dieing , eval on the method does not catch the error.

Does anyone have an idea on how to catch the error?
