Hey Phil,

Thanks for the clarification on this.  I was trying to figure out why we 
hadn't come across this issue on our local dev environments.  Maybe some 
other users can chime in on this, but my understanding was that 
compiling with the embedded perl option tends to be problematic due to 
memory leaks and other unpredictable behaviors.  (??)

Let us know anything you find out, we appreciate the input!
