Thanks for your reply. I got so far that a messed up/redefined die handler could be the problem. It's still one of my main hypotheses. But I cannot explain why:

• (locally) re-defining/resetting the die handler using $SIG{__DIE__} does not solve the issue - it should if that's the problem, shouldnt it?
• the issue only occurs under mod_perl, not in CLI or with CGI. That suggests the problem could be outside my code.

Of course I did my share of eliminating / commenting out parts, got me a bit further, but it takes LONG as there's hundreds of modules, many thousands line of code to go through. I haven't stop looking yet and will continue my quest for the solution, but I was hoping someone else encountered a similar issue before.
