flashing display problem

Just hooked up my slimp3 from under the tree and brought up the 
server on a Red Hat system, running 2.2.14.  The IR remote works fine 
but when I start it playing, say, a single MP3 file, something odd 
starts happening.  Through the first playing, the display works 
fine.  During the second playing, the display flashes on and off.  
Then during the third playing, the "off" time increases to where the 
track title merely flashes briefly.

Turning on the debugging flags on server.pl, during the third 
playing, I see this being sent to the display, over and over:

 ---------------------------------------- 
|Now playing (1 of 1):                   |
|0. Aspen (Piano Solo)                   |
 ----------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------- 
|                                        |
|                                        |
 ----------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------- 
|                                        |
|                                        |
 ----------------------------------------

During the second playing, there was only one blank panel each cycle. 
During the fourth, three blank panels, and so on.

Then, if I bring up a web brower on port 9000 of the server, the 
display adds the root of my MP3 tree to the list of panels sent to 
the display on each cycle, which creates quite a mess.

Has anyone seen this before, or does anyone have any clues as to 
what's going on?

I'm running perl 5.6.1.  I suspect there is something amiss with 
timers or select() in there somewhere.  I had to fetch Time::HiRes 
 from CPAN to get server.pl to run.

Anyone have any ideas?
