Swap it out.  You don't have any real choice.  You cannot debug it live.
Sounds like it will make a nice workstation.  ;^)

The unfortunate side of this is that you may very well **never** know

absence of failure.

I'd suggest it's highly unlikely to be minivend.  It **might** be
your perl install.
