Apache segmentation fault on AIX when loading mod_apreq

[Peter Heimann <he...@web.de>]

AIX 5.3, IBM cc 7.0.0.7, Perl 5.8.8, httpd-2.2.11, libapreq2-2.12

Apache segfaults during initialization, when loading mod_apreq2.so.
When commenting out the "LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so"
line
in the config file, the httpd binary runs without problems.

During "make test", some test cases fail:

Similar results with libapreq2-2.08, httpd-2.2.8 and httpd-2.2.3.

I had to copy module/apache2/.libs/mod_apreq2.so to
/usr/local/apache/modules
manually during installation.

How can the segmentation fault be further diagnosed or fixed?

Stack backtrace:
