I suspect you may have actually been bitten by the same bug that bit me
a<br>
couple of months ago. Some precompiled versions of Perl (notably the one
that<br>
ships with RHEL 4.0's "up2date" utility) have weak references
disabled at<br>
compile time. RHEL 4 ships with weak refs enabled in the distributed version,<br>
but a later "security update" from "up2date" turns
it off -- and this is not<br>
documented. My server got updated from Perl 5.8.5 build (something) to
Perl<br>
5.8.5 build (something slightly later) that way, and it utterly broke RT.<br>
I ripped out what little hair I have trying to find that one -- you don't<br>
instinctively look for version compatibility issues when the version didn't<br>
change.<br>
<br>
I'm glad you got it working, whatever the underlying cause.<br>
