Then it probably is a problem with DBI or DBD:mysql. The fact that you
can access the db in some ways but not others says that it's all
configured correctly. The core dump suggests a defective perl or
defective compiled module (such as DBI or DBD::mysql). If it were a bug
in Interchange then you would get some kind of error to explain it in
one of your logs. In a previous message you told me your version of Perl:
> The perl version is: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-freebsd-64int
That's the latest version, so you can't upgrade to newer but I also
notice that it's a 64 bit version. Not a lot of people are running 64
bit yet and I tend to think that this may be a bug specifically related
to 64 bit and it could be very specific to 64 bit perl and freebsd
specifically with DBI. Maybe try installing a 32 bit version instead.
Other than that I'm not sure what to tell you, others have had problems
with freebsd from time to time and maybe there's someone else on the
list who can help you.

Me? I run Centos Linux, a slightly older version of perl apache 2.0 web
server IC 5.2 and Postgresql 8.0, but I know people who run several
different combinations of OS, IC version, db, etc and none have had the
problem you're describing. Unless you want to switch from BSD to Linux,
or want to switch to Postgresql I fail to see how it's relevent, though.

The component pages are the same, but the internal code in IC obviously
accesses a text file differently than a db.

Look to Perl. Since you've re-installed everything like you say it's
unlikely that you've gotten a corrupt download or compile and you've
likely found a bug in Perl. I think you can probably get rid of it if
you install a 32 bit perl instead of 64. Changing to a different DB,
such as Postgresql may also work.
Good luck,
Peter
