Re: Exiting process doesn't trigger ErrorDocument 500

[ARTHUR GOLDBERG <artg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I set rlimit AS to protect against 'runaway' processes that allocate  
too much VM so Perl dies with "Out of Memory".
The __DIE__ handler is called, but it cannot write to STDOUT (which is  
connected to the TCP connection to the client) because STDOUT has been  
closed.
is there something else I have the handler do so that Apache httpd  
sees a 500?
