Bug#389607: Apache2(-mpm-worker) segfaults on startup (with mod_perl)

[Thomas Perl <thp@perli.net>]

Package: apache2-mpm-worker
Version: 2.0.55.4-1

Hello!

The threaded version of Apache2 (mpm-worker) seems to have problems  
with mod_perl/perl. Here's a backtrace of starting Apache2. After  
removing the -mpm-worker package and installing the corresponding - 
mpm-prefork package (leaving perl packages as they are), Apache  
starts up without segfaulting.


Perl Version: 5.8.8-6.1


Backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
