Re: [users@httpd] any luck using shared memory for mod_ssl SSLSessionCache ?

[Yannick Mercier <ya...@gmail.com>]

I found out how to backtrace the core files from httpd crash due to
SSLSessionCache, and here is the output of the backtrace from Sun Studio
Debugger
Any help with this backtrace to find out if this is due to a
misconfiguration, or a bug in the software would be appreciated:

dbx /opt/apache/bin/httpd /var/core/core.httpd.2372
For information about new features see `help changes'
To remove this message, put `dbxenv suppress_startup_message 7.5' in your
