| In <1991Mar4.130949.6450@ugle.unit.no> harald.alvestrand@elab-runit.sintef.no:
|    BTW: it coredumps on perl -d and "c", but does NOT coredump when I
|    single-step through the whole program. Sounds rather random.
| 
| The problem I was having with Tom's man and ndbm on Ultrix DS3100s was
| not evident under perl -d or perl -D.  Something was sufficiently
| different then not to tickle the bug.  Boy, I hate when that happens.

Ah, yes:  Heisenbugs.  :-)
