That's a unexpected side-effect of switching to Thread::Queue module to 
handle inter-thread communication, instead of manually managing them. I 
checked Thread::Queue was present in perl CORE since perl 5.5, but I 
didn't noticed this issue.

Quick workaround, until we find a better solution:
- upgrade Thread::Queue to at least version 2.0.1 (not, it's not 
packaged on RHEL 5)
- use RHEL 6

If the second one is a child of the first, that could be a normal 
situation, as the agent fork itself to execute each task when running as 
a daemon.
