[ic] Perl 5.8.0 + Interchange Clustering locking issues

[Dan Browning]

For fun, I was testing Perl 5.8.0 (default build options) on our 
Interchange cluster and found some file locking problems.  We'll be 
sticking with 5.6.1 for now, but I wanted to warn those who run clusters 
just in case they try it:

x.x.x.x - - [27/July/2002:12:10:03 -0700] www11 
/cgi-bin/template/index.html Runtime error: Could not lock file:
Interrupted system call

It occurs even under very light loads, with MySQL sessions, and everything 
else shared over NFS3 (fcntl locks).  Perhaps it will be fixed in Perl 5.8.1...
