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
