Which OTRS version are you using and on what operating system is OTRS
running? See also

    http:(//faq.otrs.org/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&ItemID=252

please, maybe that solves your problem.

Kind regards,

This happened with OTRS 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 , usign Fedora Core 7 and Core 8. The problem occurred after upgrading perl packages (as i said, this happens with perl 5.8.8-25 (at least)) with Fedora Core 7, then i upgraded to Fedora Core 8 (i was thinking that could be a problem related with the OS), but OTRS crashed with that OS too (Fedora 8, of course, has new perl packages by default). Then i changed to CentOS 5 (which uses older perl versions) and everything runned fine. After this, i made some tests in other machine with Fedora Core 7 with a fresh installation of OTRS::ITSM 1.0.4, and everything was fine until perl upgrade was made. Then i realized that the problem was related with the new perl package. Actually, searching over the internet, i found this https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13366 (it's greek, but you can see that it reports the same crash than me, less than a week ago, when the perl packages was released). I already reported this bug to the otrs bugzilla (right now otrs domain seems to be down, but i'll send you the bug id).
