cause the error. Beasides the utf-8 error, I bet "Could not open error file
: No such file or directory" will be a clue to track down the cause. This
error is related the utf-8 issue as it always accompany with the utf-8
error. I don't know which error file it is referring to as there is nothing
in the debug file. It seems this error is broader then utf-8 issue. Thank
you.

When doing a restart and the Safe code is being processed, the error/debug
log file locations are probably not assigned yet, so it will write the error
to the screen during restart, instead of writing it to the error logfile.
Something needing to be looked into for sure ...

That you have issues in the UTF8 area while not using anything related to
UTF8 is also something that should be avoided.

There is currently an environment variable that you can set
MINIVEND_DISABLE_UTF8, however I am not convinced that that one will
passover this part of the code ... 

The suggestion by Peter still holds true and that is to compile a 5.8.9
version of Perl, I am pretty sure I had these errors and they disappeared
after I compiled a newer Perl (although I went for the 5.10.0 ...)

CU,
