so that's how you do it!

thanks!

kevin, who just did a dumb thing[0]

[0] this is a bad thing[1][2] to do:
	while (scalar(@timers) < 5) {
	    push(@timers, 0);
	}

[1] ps aux will segfault if it lacks enough memory, but ls is sparten
    enough to run even when you're a moronic developer and do dumb
    things[0].  so off to /proc, do an ls */exe|grep bad.proggie (which
    doesn't crash - what does ps do with ram?!) and then kill the
    offender.  cat /proc/process.number/cmdline will give you more
    info in case your proggie is a perl script so you can kill the
    right one.

[2] a way to detect memory leaks like this in perl is, well, don't
    write them i suppose, but if you do, run strace on them and
    see what was happening before the continuous brk() calls.
