IC is written entirely in Perl and HTML. HTML can not cause a core dump.
I am not aware of any application written in Perl that can cause a core
dump. YMMV.
Perl, on the other hand, is written in c/c++ and that can cause a core dump.
Not only is it possible that you have a bad implementation of Perl - maybe
it didn't compile correctly, maybe there was a power hiccup when it was
compiling and it only thinks that it compiled fine, but in one place there
is a '0' where there should be a '1'. Who knows?
But, it also links against libraries that were installed by the operating
system. One of them might be defective. Can you successfully re-compile the
kernel on that machine. That is usually a reasonably good test to see if the
libraries are functioning properly.
I think that my next step in trouble shooting would be to compile the
kernel. (This is not dangerous as long as you don't move the final binary
outputted into a place where it can get booted.) If that gets completed
sucessfully, I would get the latest and greatest Perl and compile and
install that, and then try again.
I think that you've got some problems on that machine that are far deeper
than Interchange.
