Re: The bug in DBI package

In the list of "things to try", I wonder why no one has mentioned SIGCHLD? It is possible that the DBI code is changing the signal mask to ignore that signal (no idea why it might do that). After the connect, try:

$SIG{CHLD}='DEFAULT';

I don't have Oracle to try myself.

The Oracle client libraries alter the disposition of SIGCHLD. You can put SIGCHLD back to default behavior as you have said but a) you must do this after DBI connect and b) it may affect the Oracle client libraries although I have not seen any issues myself.	[reply]
