It depends on how buggy your version of Perl is. :-)
On Red Hat Linux 8 and 9, you can do "md-mx-ctrl reread" and you'll be
OK.
On Solaris 9, even explicitly following the instructions in the perlembed
man page, destroying and recreating the Perl interpreter yields a
segfault.
I started trying to debug this, but got scared away by the innards of
Perl. A colleague of mine ran Perl under a tool to detect memory leaks,
and he found all kinds of leaks and bad memory references inside Perl.
Regards,
David.
