In my experience, when the server goes "silently into
that good night", an untrapped signal is often the
culprit.

You might try using Signal::StackTrace to get a stack
dump. Just identify some of the usual signal suspects,
eg,

   use Signal::StackTrace qw/ SEGV TERM PIPE /; # etc...

And the trace will help pin down what's happened.
