mod_perl and GD.pm segfault

[Jason <jt...@cartmanager.net>]

Embedded Perl version v5.8.0 for Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP/4.3.2 mod_perl/1.28 mod_ssl/2.8.14 OpenSSL/0.9.6b

I am trying to use a simple script that will display an jpeg or png image using GD.pm (readily available from CPAN)

I am getting
[Wed Sep  3 10:41:37 2003] [notice] child pid 832 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
This happens only when the script is loaded in mod_perl... In normal perl/apache it works without the segfault.... Any Ideas as to
why?

I have traced the segfault down to the line
print $img->png();

I have simplified my script to this, and it segfaults on the "img->png" command


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use GD;
my $img = GD::Image->new(11,12);
my $white = $img->colorAllocate(255,255,255);
my $black = $img->colorAllocate(0,0,0);
$img->rectangle(1,1,4,5,$black);
$| = 1;
print   "Content-type: image/png\n\n";
my $tmp = $img->png();
print $tmp;
exit;

Not before you show us the segfault backtrace, unless someone can reproduce 
your problem with the sample script. See:
