Namaste, fellow monk.

Just ideas..

That just looks like if /dev/zero were leaking... ;-) is it the only corrupt line in the tmon.out file? Maybe there is a pattern. Flushing buffers to the wrong place... hm.

I'd check whether the tmon.out file is otherwise useable and if so, copied dprofpp to $HOME/trashbin and hacked it not to die and ignore these lines, to get at my profiling data (which I wouldn't trust too much, given the circumstances :-). I'd check also the surroundings of the strange noise lines and looked whether there's something strange happening in the called subs. *shrug*

Maybe it's not even perl-related, but an OS/FS issue. Where is the tmon.out file written to? /tmp ? tmpfs mounted? Which OS do you run and what perl version? It would be handy if you posted that information, so others with more wisdom than I had it at hand whilst thinking, and must not ask.

Do the programs which don't work have anything in common? well, just ideas..
