Hi anonymous monk,

I don't get error messages on the other VM either, that's what makes this problem very strange to me ...

The range iterator message is one of the rare ones :) the illegal division or the sudden execution of the print statement after the n'th while loop is much more 'likely'.

Do you have a hint for me how I could narrow it further down? It's the default SuSE perl distribution, no custom stuff. Dop you think I should try to tackle it with valgrind or something?

Thanks,
Thomas
