I'll try setting up Interchange as another user and see what happens.
Thanks for the reply.  Here is the output that you requested:

David,

I assume you're using a non-threaded Perl in /usr/local/bin/perl, right? 
If you're not sure, do "/usr/local/bin/perl -V" and send the output here.

The first thing I'd do for a problem this strange is create a new OS user,
and build Interchange from the source tarball there, totally separate from
your other IC. Make sure to do "/usr/local/bin/perl ./configure" so you use
your unthreaded Perl build. Copy in your catalog. Create a new CGI that will
talk to that IC. And see what happens.

If you're not dependent on version 4.8 of Interchange, you'd might as well
use the latest version of CVS while you're at it.

I don't recall you mentioning which distribution and version of Linux you're
using, but since they started including threaded Perl builds, the RPM
installation is less useful.

Jon
