>Description:
This bug seems to be the same than number #6792.
When using a script called "foo.php3" for uploading a file on a web server,
if this script calls itself for parsing the uploaded file, httpd has SEGV.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4024ecbd in XS_Apache__URI_password () from /etc/httpd.other/modules/libperl.so
(gdb) where
#0 0x4024ecbd in XS_Apache__URI_password () from /etc/httpd.other/modules/libperl.so
#1 0x402a2008 in Perl_pp_dbmopen () from /etc/httpd.other/modules/libperl.so

[...]
When using it from a .html page "test_segv.html" to a .php3 script "test_segv.php3" (same name, but different extensions),
a SEGV occurs :
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

#0 0x0 in ?? ()

#6 0x402747e4 in study_chunk () from /etc/httpd.other/modules/libperl.so
When calling it with a CGI, and without setting php3 on, a broken pipe appears :
rogram received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0x40146af4 in __libc_write () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) where
#0 0x40146af4 in __libc_write () from /lib/libc.so.6

#3 0x806adec in ap_hook_call ()
#4 0x8051d53 in ap_bspawn_child ()
#5 0x805278b in ap_bfilbuf ()
>How-To-Repeat:
Use this script, put it in a file called "test_segv.php3" :
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="test_segv.php3" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT NAME="order_file" TYPE="file">
<INPUT NAME="DOWNLOAD" TYPE="submit" VALUE="T�l�charger les ordres">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Try to launch it, when you call it for the upload, httpd SEGV.
I've tried it with a .php3 and a .cgi. Using .cgi has a differenc behaviour,
httpd has broken pipe.
>Fix:
Don't use a re-entrant script, use two differents scripts
