I'm trying to uncover the root of an issue. 
The issue is this:
  When running a perl script I can get perl to jump up to 99% cpu. When this
happens, I can't kill the process.
The only thing I can do to recover properly is reset the system. Either
power cycle or reset. 
Is there anyone who could attempt to run the attatched script and let me
know if they experience something similar?

The targe configuration of the box I'm most concerned with is as follows:
512MB RAM (ecc, parity, registered)
1x 9GB SCSI HDD(seagate)
1x PCI RAID controller(AMI MegaRAID express) wrthru and read-cached.
DUAL 550 PIII
RH 7.1 SGI XFS 1.0 installed or later. 
non-updated perl 5.6.0(installed with 7.1)
Mount options for the filesystem I'm testing with.
/dev/sda5 on /home type xfs (rw,biosize=13,logbufs=8,osyncisdsync)

2.4.13 Vanilla kernel + SGI XFS patch for 2.4.13. 
Attatched are the perl scripts I use to test with. Also the kernel config
I'm using. I'm pretty desparate here. 
If you can offer help on this, please help!
