 I've seen this on several payment modules, including Authorize.Net and 
Linkpoint. I think it's due to a signals bug in Perl 5.8 that manifests 
itself when Interchange is running in prefork mode. There are two fixes I 
know of:

 1) Downgrade Perl to 5.6.1
 2) Run Interchange with "MaxServers 0" (edit your traffic profile in 
interchange.cfg).
