This is a signal interrupting a read, probably the socket read in
Server.pm (without your Server.pm version I can't tell what exactly).

On Perl 5.8.3 you should set PERL_SIGNALS=unsafe in the environment
before startup, i.e.

	export PERL_SIGNALS=unsafe
	interchange -r

You might also set in interchange.cfg:

	Variable MV_GETPPID_BROKEN 1

I think that might be useful with RedHat 9.0 unless you have a later
kernel.
