I had bemoaned:

I downloaded and installed ActivePerl 5.8.0 and then installed the latest 
mod_perl 1.99_08 ppm for perl 5.8.0 and that seems to have eliminated all of 
my instabilities.

I suppose that the problem was related to the bad signal handling in 5.6.1 that 
was fixed in this latest release.

Now all I need to do is rebuild PerlMagick so that I can use ImageMagick 
under this environment (the pre-build ppm is only for ActivePerl 5.6.1)...and I'll 
be all set!

kewl!
