Not really. I can't reproduce the behavior unless I'm running as a CGI. The particular command is a shell script living in /etc/init.d.

    You can attach to an existing process with "strace -p ###".

    Can you give us more information about the init.d script?

    Try replacing the perl script with a shell script that runs strace on the original script, saving the output somewhere where you can look at it later.
