Bug#237087: libapache-mod-perl: Causes apache and apache-ssl to segfault

[Kees Leune <C.J.Leune@uvt.nl>]

Package: libapache-mod-perl
Version: 1.29.0.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After installing mod-perl in combination with request-tracler3, both
apache as wel as apache-ssl will no longer start. The error message
provided is 

# invoke-rc.d apache-ssl start
Configuration syntax error detected. Not reloading.

/usr/sbin/apache-sslctl: line 171: 20977 Segmentation fault      $HTTPD -t
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache-ssl, action "start" failed.

I have narrowed the problem to one line in the request-tracker
configuration file, which states:

PerlRequire /usr/share/request-tracker3/libexec/webmux.pl

Uncommenting this line will cause the problem to disappear.
