Bug#236882: apache-perl: Segmentation fault on 'use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler'

[Adam Sjøgren <asjo@koldfront.dk>]

Package: apache-perl
Version: 1.3.29.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #236882

I just upgraded from older versions of libhtml-mason-perl and
apache-perl in unstable to the latest.

When running apache-perl I get a segmentation fault.

I've narrowed it down to this minimal example:

 $ cd /tmp
 $ cat httpd.conf 
 PerlRequire httpd.pl
 $ cat httpd.pl 
 #!/usr/bin/perl

 use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler;

 1;
 $ /usr/sbin/apache-perl -f /tmp/httpd.conf -t
 Segmentation fault
 $ 

Same thing happens with my, previously working, complete httpd.conf,
which I can provide if need be.

If I comment out the 'use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler;'-line, I get:

 $ cat httpd.conf 
 PerlRequire httpd.pl
 $ cat httpd.pl 
 #!/usr/bin/perl

 #use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler;

 1;
 $ /usr/sbin/apache-perl -f /tmp/httpd.conf -t
 Syntax OK
 $ 

Going back to apache-perl_1.3.29.0.1-5_i386.deb makes it work again,
no segfault.

Let me know if there is something I can do to pin the problem further
down.

(I mistakenly filed this on libhtml-mason-perl at first; I apologize).
