[rt-users] "Can't bind unknown placeholder" error solved by awful hack.

[William Annis]

For all the recent versions of RT2 I have been unable to get the auto
responder to work at all (using mod_perl, rather than fast_cgi).  I'd
get a nasty-gram from sendmail with this message:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Can't bind unknown placeholder '9' at /loc/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 320, <STDIN> line 10.
554 5.3.0 "|/home/mesarthim/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond"... unknown mailer error 255

   ----- Original message follows -----

After a lot of digging around, I found out that if you turn debugging
on, the error goes away.  Sure enough, when I put this: 

        DBI->trace(2, '/dev/null');
        sub SimpleQuery { 

at line 303 of DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm, the problem goes away.

I have no idea what this means.  But it works.
