Floating Exception Core Dump

Greetings,

I've been running the wwwstat script on a HP UX 9.0 with perl 4
for about a year with no problem on a nightly basis.  
Starting this past week, I began to have problems with my nightly
cron job dumping out to a core file and am not sure why.  The error message 
received in root's email reads - 4278 Floating Exception-Core Dumped.  If I try 
to run it manually at the command line, after running for a minute, it core 
dumps as well and then displays a similiar Floating exception - core dumped 
message.

Has anyone seen this.  Like I said, the scripts been running great
for over a year with no problems so I'm not sure what's causing it.

The first time this happened last week, I was able to remove entries from the 
accesslog for several days of the month and then finally get it to run 
completely, but after a day or two the problems repeating.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hope
