ok, I'm going to bed.

Here's my last-gasp troubleshooting technique:

First, install strace if you don't have it.

then run your script under strace:

2>logfile strace ./scriptname

This will put every system call the script makes into "logfile". (this
will be a huge file).  Look at the tail end of it and see what's
happening.

If you want, gzip the logfile and post it somewhere where I can
download it (tomorrow) and take a look at it.  Make sure you use dummy
data, not your private data, because some of the contents might end up
in the logfile.

Regards,
Mark
