CentOS 4 is a Red Hat 4 Enterprise clone.  I have SELinux off...

The perl call Mark sent me works when run as root (which is what I am
running mogstored as).  I went so far as to make /var/mogdata chmod
777.

The reason I am running old perlbal code is because it builds and
passes make test without problems. The current CVS version does not.
Also, it was the one that is linked from the website.

FYI:  I also had epoll problems before (when I was trying the _64bit
distro of Centos4.1)
