in thread Setting signal handlers considered unsafe?

On my system (This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi) your script ran for many minutes, until I stopped it. I am running CentOS 5.2 with the CentOS distribution of perl.

Is it possible that your system is not running with safe/deferred signals (environment variable PERL_SIGNALS set to "unsafe")?

    No. Rather not. All my perl binaries are distribution-provided (perl -V | grep -i sig only returns hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define) and I don't have anything containing 'PERL' in my environment either. The plot thickens... ;)
