>Description:
Following are the segmentation faults I get when I run configure. 
I get the core dumps on running ./configure for both Apache 1.3.19 as well
as 1.3.12.
 
$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_1.3.12

>How-To-Repeat:
N.A.
>Fix:
I am guessing that we probably require some patch for Solaris 2.8. Would really
appreciate it if I could get some pointers about what this might be? Or is it some environment variable that needs to be set?

Thanks in advance.
