I am having a very similar problem.  It comes up when I try to add a 
package to a customer.  The complete error from in the browser is..

Software error:

I think only the third line above relates but.....

Also it seems to run REAL slow.  For example, if I click on New Customer
from the main menu it takes 22 seconds for the page to come up.  During
that time top shows perl5 running at over 90% of cpu time for about half
the time as user nobody then as user freeside.  Is this a suid perl problem?
Would I be better off running suExec from Apache?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I had been running with fs-current.tar.gz but have recently upgraded
to the latest code via CVS in hopes of solving this.
