Steve, It's not a bug in perl(1); it's a bug in the ldmadmin(1) code that's activated by top(1) writing a lot of lines. I think the solution is to change line 1287 in the ldmadmin(1) script from close FH or die "Can't close(): status=$?"; to (close FH || !$!) or die "Can't close(): status=$?"; Would you mind doing this and letting me know?. I can't duplicate the problem here. Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: QCH-285545 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
