I've been seeing errors like this in my INN error logs:

/usr/local/bin/perl in free(): warning: recursive call.
/usr/local/bin/perl in malloc(): warning: recursive call.
Out of memory!

The free() one occurs a lot ...

// ben@scientia:/var/log/news/OLD$ gzip -dc errlog.1.gz | grep -c free
12142

And that's just one day.  Any idea what could cause this? A problem
with Perl/FreeBSD/the perl script in question/my setup, etc? (I'm not
sure which perl script is causing it, there are no timestamps or any
other clues in the log that I can see. I think the only two perl scripts
involved with INN are controlchan and Cleanfeed though.) Grepping for
recursive in the perl*(1) manpages didn't show anything that looked
relevant.
