What would cause a SEGFAULT on startup

Hi,

	I'm running :


apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate-1.3.37+2.8.28
perl-threaded-5.8.8
mod_perl-1.30

	all installed via the FreeBSD ports collection.

	When I try to start it, using just the default httpd.conf
with nothing but it being loaded, I get a segfault. The backtrace is :

(gdb) bt
#0  0x286e9350 in Perl_newSVpvn ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
#1  0x2873e1bd in PerlIO_open ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
#2  0x2868736a in S_open_script ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
#3  0x28684267 in S_parse_body ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
#4  0x286837fe in perl_parse ()
   from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
#5  0x2861ddb4 in perl_startup () from /usr/local/libexec/apache/libperl.so
#6  0x2861d82a in perl_module_init () from /usr/local/libexec/apache/libperl.so
#7  0x0805683e in ap_init_modules ()
#8  0x0805f5df in main ()


	Is this because I'm using threaded perl?  I know it was
an issue on FreeBSD at one time.

		Thanks, Tuc

	There are changes that need to be made to mod_perl/apache if running
a threaded perl? I wasn't aware of that. Can you let me know the option
so I can look more?

	I tried 8 days ago. No reply.

IIRC there were some arguments against running threaded perl on FreeBSD. 
But I remember if the issue was specific to the OS. So if you're 
installing Apache 1.3 off ports chances are the default config is for 
non-threaded mode.

You may get a much more technical response if you asked the freebsd 
mailing list. It's very happening over there.

Hi,

	Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I can't on both accounts.
I realize this sounds weird, because of certain issues I need to bring this
up like another server. The only reason difference was I wanted to see if I
could get threaded perl running on this one. 

	Over the weekend I backed down to regular perl, deleted and reinstalled
all my modules, and now modperl runs. 

	I'm going to suggest to the FREEBSD maintainer that he put a check
that if your running threaded perl, to stop the build.

			Thanks, Tuc

If you're starting modperl from scratch, I'd suggest that you go with 
modperl2 on apache 2.2 than legacy apache 1.3 + modperl 1
