Okay, thanks for the info. From what I was able to google, someone had
recommended turning off perl to avoid these errors, so I was wondering if
the perl support tried to execute from data segments or something like
that.

If it was just PAX catching either a crash or an intentional buffer
overflow, then that's fine, I was just curious.

Thanks
