"Unable to load interpreter"

Hi guys,

Can anyone think of reasons other than possibly faulty ram for getting the
error "unable to load interpreter"? My system, which does some heavy use of
perl in a very busy cgi environment will intermittently spit out that message.

To my knowledge the system has never run out of virtual memory, so my guess is
that wouldn't be the reason. As a matter of fact I've seen that message pop up
when the system had over 200megs of ram freely available (we have 512M of ram).

So off the bat it can't be an inability to allocate memory. So that leaves me
with the notion that it's probably being caused by faulty ram. I've run the
memtest86 on each individual DIMM and it reported no errors! :-( From what
I've heard the memtest86 is quite exhaustive so I was surprised to see it
return no errors.

So I'm at a loss in this issue. The errors are ocurring, definitely. Not
frequently relative to the load on the system, but a few times a day, anyway.

Any ideas?

Ricardo
