[Dxspider-support] Spider keeps rebooting

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Disk corruption is a bad thing.  Your hard drive is probably on its way out.  You are also running a very old Linux.  Sounds like it's time for a new hard drive and system rebuild....

  Hi All



  Not quite what it sounds like .it reboots under specific conditions.



  My Linux box had been up-and -running for over a year, but crashed while I was on holiday.



  When I got home, I found that I had a few bad sectors.  The system corrected these and started up Linux (RedHat v 6.2) without any problem.



  Spider would not start up, though, and on investigation I found that Local.pm was corrupt.  I copied an old version of this into the spider/perl directory and all seemed to be ok.



  My connection from GB7WDX to GB7DJK seems to run perfectly smoothly but when GB7CGL-1 connects to me, Spider reboots immediately.



  I have tried updating to cvslatest, but with the same result.



  I have perl v5.6.1 - well, that's what it says when I use perl -v

  And Spider 1.52 build 61.521



  Before the present crashes, using sh/contest used to also reboot Spider.



  ppm shows different module versions than cpan does



  Any help would be appreciated.



  Best wishes,



  John, G7OPJ
