Bug#282704: apache 1.3.26-0woody6 childprocess segfaults when accessing authenticated pages

[MSD <no1msd@gmail.com>]

Package: apache
Version: 1.3.26-0woody6

After creating a .htaccess and htpasswd file, apache segfaults when
trying to access the authenticated page in a browser. The error.log
file says:

[Tue Nov 23 22:21:38 2004] [notice] child pid 9801 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

Nothing more, even in debug loglevel.
The .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "authentication required"
AuthUserFile /etc/webadminpwd
Require valid-user

I'm using woody, kernel 2.4.27 vanilla, and libc 2.2.5-11.5.
