perlbal crashes

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

What version?  1.2, 1.3, cvs?

I'm pretty sure that bug was both introduced and fixed in cvs.  If it's
present in an actual release, uh, that'd suck.  You might try updating to
the latest cvs?  cvs should be stable right now, except for
buffered-to-disk uploads which are undergoing some refactoring right
now.
