Linux, right?

Sorry, meant to include that.

It's a vanilla CGI on a Solaris 10 (Sparc) box.

My engineer said that he might have been using the "wrong link" -- I won't know exactly what he meant until I work with him next week.  (Either way, the script shouldn't be dying with that error since the code isn't changing...)

If we're still stumped, I'm hoping to enlist a co-worker who has experience with Dtrace so we may go that route.  I'm hoping we can log memory, swap, or process related errors.

Thanks,
Dan
