in reply to DBI error ... forty-eight

UPDATE: I'm now being told by an administrator that the code is really a TCP/socket type error: "Address already in use" (EADDRINUSE) and not a MySQL error at all.

EADDRINUSE on Linux is 98, but, on Windows Winsock, it's 10048---WSAEADDRINUSE. I still think that 48 is ELNRNG--link number out of range.

So, what does "link number out of range" mean then?

In a nutshell: Sparse file.

After you read that, try this script to check whether a file is sparse or is not sparse:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $file = shift @ARGV;
my(@status) = stat $file;
print "\n";
if ( $status[7] > ($status[12] * 512) ) {
    print "$file is sparse\n\n";
}
else {
    print "$file does not appear to be sparse\n";
}
system("du -hS --apparent-size $file");
system("du -hS $file");
print "\n";    

The apparent-size file will usually be lt than the actual-size. If the apparent-size is gt the actual-size, that might be a sign that something's wrong.
