Error on Login / Logout

about 5% of the time people login/logout of the our new rt2 system (
rt-2-0-14 on Linux RH7.2) ( which I and my users love, thanks Jesse Vincent
and others ) they get a weird error.
System error

error: Bizarre copy of ARRAY in aassign at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Devel/StackTrace.pm line 65.

code stack: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Mason/Request.pm:306

This also happens randomly inside the application (rare). Has anyone else
run across this?
We are using HTML-Mason-1.1201. Should I upgrade mason? Im a little gunshy
with perlmods.

Thanks

I’d recommend updating from Perl 5.6.0 to 5.6.1 or even 5.8.0 (if you
have time to validate all your apps against it). 5.6.0 had some fatal
flaws in it. 5.6.1 is, IMHO, the minimal version you should be using.

Personlly, I’m still running mason 1.05, but the latest versions
should be ok.

ok, thanks, that might be a tall order but I’ll look into it.
Do you think this is something that could cause a total failure in RT2?
Should I be taking this error more seriously?
