mod_perl segfault
Heya --
Please 'scuse in advance the long post -- it had to be to fit in all of
the information asked for (better too much than too little, I hope).
Anyways, I've run into an intermittent segfault problem with mod_perl
(Version 1.24). It causes the Apache (version 1.3.12) process to die:
[Sun Dec 10 03:12:10 2000] [notice] child pid 18227 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
Here's my perl -V:

As I said above, this is mod_perl 1.24, running under Apache 1.3.12 The
same error also happened with Apache 1.3.9, however. I built mod_perl
with:
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache

APACI_ARGS='--with-layout=RedHat --verbose' PERL_DEBUG=1
I caught a backtrace of the segfault:

The error happens at unpredictable times -- resending the same request
may or may not segfault again -- but it always works eventually. The
file being run is a base install of Everything ( http://everydevel.com/
) -- so the code is known to work -- at least with slightly different
versions of things than I run. I suspect that the error lies somewhere
with Perl 5.6. Here's the relevant section from httpd.conf (addresses
obfuscated to protect the guilty):

As you can guess, mod_perl is not a DSO, and I'm not using mod_php,
etc. The only other possibly applicable fact is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH
needed to get set (/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/CORE) in order for
mod_perl to compile, as well as for Apache to run. I don't know if this
is unusual or not..
Anyways, hope that someone has an inkling as to what's going on here.
Many thanks,
