I don't see any protocol problems in the log.

In the second line of code, $reply has somehow become undef. I don't understand how that could happen! Apparently, perl's utf-8 output layer is coming into the picture -- that's where the utf8_heavy comes into play. Perhaps it is somehow unsetting $reply. -- see shy jo
