Hi all,
This does look like a resource limitation for my machine, but I
thought people might like to know some further information that I
have found out.
At exactly the same time that I got the original errors from
MIME::Parser, I got the following as well...
May 31 21:30:10 inetsrv-1 tmpfs: [ID 518458 kern.warning] WARNING:
/tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded
So it does look like that part of the code uses /tmp, which is part
of swap on this system, and fairly small.
It looks like I might need to increase the space available to /tmp.
# df -k /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 292984 392 292592 1% /tmp
