Greetings.

I have written server application on perl and everything looked fine utill Linux to FreeBSD migration. Now the same code seems to work in different way sometimes.

while( 1 ){
    my $paddr = accept( Client, Server );
    next if not $paddr;

    my $buf = '';
    eval {
        local $SIG{'ALRM'} = sub { die "time\n" };
        Time::HiRes::alarm( $READ_TIMEOUT );
        recv Client, $buf, $MAX_REQ_LEN, 0;
        Time::HiRes::alarm( 0 );
    };
    if( $@ ){   # operation timeout / met errors
        d 'Timeout on read';
        close Client;
        next;
    }
...

I've redirected stdout and stderr in file and sometimes the string "time" appear in it + server goes away. Wonder why that happens and how to avoid that? Thanks :)
