coredumps on FreeBSD

[Randy Terbush <ra...@zyzzyva.com>]

After following Marc's suggested change to allow FreeBSD 2.2 to 
dump core, I can confirm Chuck's finding that the cores supplied 
are garbage. From digging around in a couple of these core files, 
and the log associated with the server show that these may (_may_) 
be the product of HEAD requests.

Still looking. Ideas welcome.

Try allocating a global char save_the_url[HUGE_STRING]; and writing the
url in that in read_request_line.  Then you don't have to worry so much
about the request structure making any sense at the SEGV time.

I'll remove the modules that I don't use..  just in case someone wants
to try to blame one module.

I had no luck trying to get Apache to name the URL that dumped core

More datapoints.  My irix servers are not coredumping at all (after I
fixed a bug in my own code).  My linux servers are coredumping at a rate
of something like .005%.  The linux servers have static content only,
mod_include and mod_cgi aren't even built in, I'll include the actual
module list below.

I have yet to get a core file though.  It's probably similar to freebsd.
