in reply to suppress windows error

Well the error is in german, but I'll try to translate ;)

faulting application perl.exe, version 5.8.8.817,
faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.3790.3959,
fault address 0x00037f20.

This happens while running SpamAssassin's spamd. I'd be great if I could suppress this due an option in ActivePerl while not touching the original spamd code so I don't need to edit it every time a new version comes out.

    I think the easiest part of that to fix is "5.8.8.817". Why not try a more current version of perl?

    Core dump bugs (and this is the windows version of a core dump) do get rarer and rarer in newer versions of perl. And the release announcement says that 5.8.8 is 4 years old - that's a lot of time for bug fixes.

      The reason I use 5.8.8 is, there are several modules which do not function properly with 5.10. But I'll give it a try again since these modules are optional, if it solves the problem with these errors it is worth it.
