Fair enough. :-)

Ok. I assume this is from the command line. That works for me too. Now try
running it as a cron job from /etc/crontab:
xx xx * * * root strace /xxxx/pp
BTW, I get the same results with perl 5.004_04 from Red Hat and with my
locally compiled (under 2.1.129) perl 5.005_02.
I still regard this as a "cannot happen" case. Do you have a reasonable
explanation for the things you saw in my strace output?
