Reason is missing execute permission of lib/OTrace.pm. May happen with other lib/*.pm files too, in particular when copied from elswhere (for example with git checkout ...).

Workaround: chmod 555 ./lin/OTrace.pm

fixed be printing a Hint in o-saft.pl.

A general bullet-proof fix is difficult because there are various reason such a runtime exception may occur (file missing, missing +x bit, file corrupted, ...). However this should not happen when installing from official release files like o-saft.tgz. People working with development files are savvy enough to handle the problem with the workaround ;-)
