>Release:        1.2.3
>Environment:
Linux altair.xemacs.org 2.0.31 #3 Sun Aug 17 16:27:50 PDT 1997 i586
(Actually linux-2.0.31-pre7), with libc-5.4.33 and gawk-3.0.0

Core was generated by `awk ($1 == "Module" && $3 ~ /modules\//) { split ($3, pp, "/"); \
   printf "%s'.
(gdb) where
#0  0x40082f61 in __kill ()
#1  0x4004f07d in raise (sig=11)
#2  0xbffff228 in __ypbindlist ()
#3  0x8052edb in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff328) at main.c:365
#4  0x804974b in ___crt_dummy__ ()
>How-To-Repeat:
./Configure in src
>Fix:
Upgrading to gawk-3.0.3 fixes it.  I've configured and compiled dozens of versions
of Apache from 0.80 to 1.2.1 without having this problem before
