Hi, It seems to me there's a minor bug in "POOL_HANDLE *pool_pop()" function of rlm_perl module. Around line #429 perl_pool.current_clones gets incremented, which is incorect, since it already has been incremented by pool_grow() function. The rlm_perl.c file is: $Id: rlm_perl.c,v 1.13 2004/02/26 19:04:34 aland Exp $ See attached file for proposed fix. -- Best wishes Smile... Tomorrow will be worse. (c) Murphy's Law
