Redhat 2.0.18
compiled with gcc version 2.7.2
>Description:
I upgraded from redhat 1.2.13 to 2.0.18.  Upon upgrading I have been receiving
 httpd: caught SIGSEGV, dumping core in my error log when I hit a page with a
#exec cmd directive.  #exec cgi directives work fine, but I need to pass
arguments so it doesn't solve my problem at hand.  My #exec cmd programs are
written in perl 5.003, but I tried a simple ksh script also and apache dumped
core.

I tend to believe that this is a linux version bug, but I figured I would submit
a bug report here just in case anyone encounters a similar problem (and finds a
solution?).
>How-To-Repeat:
Aside from logging into my machine and poking around I am not sure how you can
repeat the problem.

no
