Quest / Perl Error

[kedra]

Hey guys:

This is an error that I've encountered in the past, but the fix that I used does not quite solve the problem this time around. Here's the situation:

Fresh Server 2003 installation with textbook installs for Mysql5.0, Perl5.8.8, and the most recent binaries (0.7.0-1091).

Everything runs smoothly except for the quests.

---------------------------------------------

[02.16. - 23:02:33] Terminating on signal SIGHUP(1)

I've gone over this several times, but I'm not quite sure what is causing it. I've reinstalled Perl several times, verified that my perl58.dll file is available, and done just about everything else I can think of.

I've set up numerous servers in the past, and the only thing that is different here is Mysql5.0 as opposed to 4.1, and the newer binaries. I 'ressurected' an old, preserved eqemu server directory and tried running world and zone from there, but encountered the same problem, so I'm thinking that this is a problem with my Perl installation, but I may be wrong.

Any ideas?
