Why no core dump?

[Benoit Caron <be...@netgraphe.com>]

Hello.

I have a problem with my mod_perl process diying with a :
[Wed Oct  3 13:32:12 2001] [notice] child pid 6732 exit signal Segmentation 
Fault (11)

in the error log. I'm still trying to find out what could be the problem, 
but there's no core file to look out with gdb ou something.... I've set the 
CoreDumpDirectory Apache directive to a directory that is world writable, 
but there still no core dump...

I use HTML::Mason with Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_perl/1.25, on 
Solaris 2.8, with Oracle 8.0.5.

The problem seems to append when two particular directory are hit : they 
have in common that they read a Cookie, and if they don't find what they 
want, they send a redirect like this :

         my $location = "/fr/portefeuille/login.html?profil=portefeuille";

         $r->err_headers_out->add(Location => $location);
         $r->status(REDIRECT);
         $r->send_http_header;
         $m->abort;

Additionnaly, my redo log on Oracle fill-up really fast... I've guess that 
this could be related as this could maybe append because of my DBI 
connection dying abruptly... Am I right?

Anybody has any idea where I could search for a solution?
