child pid exit signal Segementation Fault (11) when using basic authentication

           Summary: child pid exit signal Segementation Fault (11) when
                    using basic authentication
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.40
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_auth
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kees@uvt.nl


Anytime I tried to use basic authentication, whether it be from .htaccess or 
from global configuration files, apache aborts the child process. Error 
messages show up in the global error log, rather than in the specific virtual 
host error log and typically look like:

[Tue Mar 04 09:23:20 2003] [notice] child pid 32161 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Tue Mar 04 09:23:20 2003] [notice] child pid 32156 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)

Each request results in two lines in the error log. The problem happens with 
all version 2 apaches, with or without the php module loaded. An strace of the 
the child processes shows that the process terminates at exactly same time, 
every time. If so desired, I'll send the entire strace output. Here are the few 
last lines:

# strace -p 32157

open("/var/www/error/include/spacer.html", O_RDONLY) = 16
lseek(16, 0, SEEK_SET)                  = 0
read(16, "</dd></dl><dl><dd>\n", 19)    = 19
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
