On both 2.1R and 2.1.5R boxes, Im having this really really weird problem
with perl.

I run wwwstat against apache logs.  Lately on a main large install (the
logs being close to or ovre 400MB) the perl script will run, print out
8192 bytes exactly of report output, then abort with a floating point
exception error message.

I thought it might be some kind of divide error and wasted weeks putting
in checks before any math operations.

Then finally I put in an echo check - just a line to spew out some
iteration information, and the point the program stopped at changed, I
mean what secton of the report it was on when it aborted - but again, the
report itself was exactly 8192 bytes in size.

The report goes to stdout which I use >filename to trap in a file.

Any ideas?  Im going crasy!
