[rt-users] Locale::Maketext::Guts error on Fedora

[Michael S. Liebman]

Intermittently, I am getting an "Insecure dependency in eval while
running setgid" error from Locale::Maketext::Guts. I haven't been able
to pin down what actually triggers the error since it happens so
intermittently. Sometimes I can go for days without encountering it
and sometimes it occurs a few times in a day. My best guess is that it
occurs after updating a ticket. No significant errors turn up in the
debug log prior to getting the error from the web interface.

Restarting the web server clears the problem but it does eventually
return. I've played around with some FastCGI settings to try to get
the processes to kill themselves off but that has been unsuccessful
and would only be a bandage.

I'm running Fedora Core 1, RT version 3.0.9pre2, Apache 2.0.48,
FastCGI 2.4.2, Perl 5.8.1, IO::Stringy
2.109-BestPractical-Hack-20040107, Locale::Maketext 1.08.

I'm only including the formatted error, but if the raw error would be
useful, I can post that too. Any suggestions on how to procede would
be appreciated.
