[ic] occasional failed order emails

Hi all,

Pentium III 1-Ghz
630Mb Ram
FreeBSD 4.2
Perl 5.6.1
Sendmail 8.11.1
IC 4.8.3

Running either "high" or "low" server modes
occasionally (1 in a hundred or so) order
emails not sent with error:

(catalog error.log)
<SNIP> Unable to send mail using /usr/sbin/sendmail

I added logging in Util.pm and found that the exit
status from the line:
close MVMAIL or last SEND;
would produce 31 for $? ($CHILD_ERROR)

I don't see 31 listed in sendmails exitstatus.h
file.

So is this the "well known problem with Perl
signal handling" that was mentioned recently
in this list.

Thanks,
Kyle
