Be sure you have *at least* Perl 5.001e. 5.001m is preferred. Do a 'perl
-v' to find out what you have. Be sure that the headers of all the Perl
files point to this Perl.

The FAQ isn't very clear on this, but this is a typical manifestation
of a permissions problem. What happens is that Mj finds some sort of
problem (probably that it can't lock a file) and tries to log it. But
it can't lock the log file, so it aborts again and tries to log that
problem, and so on. Eventually Perl overflows an internal stack and gets
a bus error, segment violation, or some such.
Check all your permissions, especially the directories the list files
and log file live in. Mj must be able to write in these directories to
create the lock files. Remember that Mj runs as the uid/gid you set in
the Makefile, so be sure that matches the uid/gid you set on the files
and directories.
