[mp1] RH9 / apache 1.3.29 / mod_perl 1.29 / perl 5.8.0 segfault

Hi Folks,

This one has me stumped.   After installing with clean tarballs of
apache_1.3.29 and mod_perl-1.29 on a RedHat 9 box, I'm getting a  
segfault upon making
a request.  I'm not executing any perl handler at all - in fact, none  
are configured in my
httpd.conf.  I'm just requesting a file.

The error log reports the following:
[notice] child pid 10570 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

I searched the archives, and this one looked relatively close in  
comparison:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=85025; 
search_string=apaci%201.29;guest=2149190&t=search_engine

Here is my installation procedure after untarring apache/mod_perl,  
which follows the docs at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#The_Flexible_Way
... since at some point i want to incorporate PHP and DAV into the  
build.

 > perl Makefile.PL PERL_DEBUG=1 APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src  
NO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 ALL_HOOKS=1 PERL_URI_API=1  
PERL_UTIL_API=1 PERL_TABLE_API=1
 > make
 > make install

Now I cd into the apache source tree and run:

 > ./configure --prefix=/data/httpd  
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-module=most
 > make
 > make install

When I use this httpd, i get the segfault (details below).  However, if  
change my Makefile.PL args to build
httpd (add DO_HTTPD=1, APACHE_PREFIX=/data/httpd, AND remove  
PREP_HTTPD=1),
and run make install from the mod_perl distribution directory,  the  
resulting httpd works properly.
Could this be an apache 'make' issue?

Here is my gdb backtrace ... I'm not sure why I get the 'no debugging  
symbols found' warning,
as I asked for debugging symbols in my MakeFile.pl args (I'm not much  
of a gdb user, if you couldn't tell)

 > gdb httpd

(gdb) run -X -f /data/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

     .


Server config is dead simple - just a DocumentRoot and a ServerName  
contained in a VirtualHost (named) directive.

On a side note, my LANG environment variable was set to en_US for the
build, so I theoretically worked around the locale bug referred to here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/ 
troubleshooting.html#RH_8_and_9_Locale_Issues

Please do let me know if I can provide anymore information, via  
rebuilding mod_perl/apache with different
arguments, or anything else.  I would be happy to do so. Hopefully  
someone will tell me great news like
'You dolt!  You forgot X and Y in your configure script'!  Its been a  
long day in front of the screen ....

Thanks! :)

That doesn't sound right. If you don't have perl handlers configured 
perl_header_parser won't kick in. Check your httpd.conf carefully.

I've found another thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104025178300004&r=1&w=2
It looks like Aaron Johson had a similar problem which has something to do 
with threaded-perl build or a bad precompiled perl... the original poster 
hasn't followed up whether he has solved it.

Yup, I remember that... :)

I can confirm the behaviour, I reproduced it on a machine of mine too.
But I can't remember how this one was left.  I thought Joachim was
happy in the end but I had an idea that Stas came up with a patch for
the makefile or something.  Stas?  Joachim?

73,
Ged.
