[ic] 4.8.3 crashing

	Hi everyone,

	For some time, ever since we installed 4.8.2, we've been having problems
	with Interchange crashing. Seems like users did something on the
	admin interface that would cause Interchange to crash. It was related
	to vend.pm.

	Today, we installed 4.8.3, seeing that it fixed a problem with that module.
	However, just a few minutes ago, it crashed again reporting the following
	error:

	66.169.86.239 - - [06/December/2001:10:31:23 -0500] - 
/cgi-bin/shopedu/admin/login CGI mapping error: Undefined catalog: 
/cgi-bin/shopedu at /usr/sbin/interchange/lib/Vend/Server.pm line 182.

	The catalog, of course, is there and works ok. A simple restart fixes 
everything
	again:

Killing Interchange server 8431 with TERM.
CyberCash module found (Version 3.x)
Low traffic settings.
"mode" is not defined in %Fcntl::EXPORT_TAGS at 
/usr/sbin/interchange/bin/interchange line 2753

Configuring catalog test1...Using default DBM database...done.
Interchange server started in UNIX mode(s) (process id 24130)

	Any ideas? We have dozens of users using Interchange and almost
	all of them were able to crash Interchange previously. I was happy thinking
	4.8.3. would be stable...:(

	Any ideas? Theories? We would greatly appreciate them...

	Peter
