Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that when I had perl5
installed on an AIX 3.2.5 box, that the mailer-daemon would send a reply
to a help request (addressed to majordomo), but would also send you an
"out of memory" error message in a seperate message along with it.  When
I fell back to 4.036, it worked fine....
