Seg Fault on first SSL hit after startup

[Adam Sussman <my...@vishnu.vidya.com>]

This seg fault occurs sporadically on the FIRST SSL hit to 
the server immediatly after startup.  Subsequent hits to SSL
do not have a problem.

This occurs only with this in the conf:

    SSLSessionCache shmht:/usr/local/apache/ssl/ssl_cache 


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

129         rv = ssl_scache_shmht_store(s, id, idlen, expiry, sess);


Digging into this a bit, the memcpy that is faulting is occuring in 
ssl_scache_shmht.c in ssl_cache_shmht_store on the line which
says:

    memcpy(vp, &expiry, sizeof(time_t));

I'm not sure why this is happening.  My debugging indicates that vp is not NULL.

I am not very familiar with mod_ssl, so any pointers or suggestions would be welcome.
This is happening on 2.0.43 with a statically linked openssl version 0.9.6g on
linux 2.4.18 with libc 2.2.4.

thanks,

sounds like the shared mem stuff in mod_auth_digest :)

Didn't Madhu say that shmht was horribly broken and should be removed?  I
don't quite remember.
