Hm, the corrupted cvd and the "bombing perl" and now this... Kind of
implies that something sinister might be up with that particular box.
RH9 "smells of old age", is the box perhaps getting on a bit too? If
so you might be looking at diverse age-related maladies like failing
HDDs, RAM going bad ... which in turn can lead to this type of
behaviour. If the HDD(s) are "S.M.A.R.T enabled" you might want to
look at using tools like the smartmontools to check the health of
it/them... And it is never wrong to use a memory tester like Memtest86
(or similar) to assure RAM isn't "it".
