When starting xchat with "-n" or removing /usr/X11R6/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so, xchat runs fine again. Since the same behaviour occurs with xmms (which also depends on perl) i assume it to be a perl problem, but i'm not sure so i decided to post it as xchat bug first. >How-To-Repeat: Install perl-5.8.7_2 and xchat2-2.6.1 and start it as "xchat". Chat some time and watch it hangup sooner or later. >Fix: Currently, a workaround is to disable plugins with "-n" commandline option or to remove /usr/X11R6/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so before starting xchat. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
