Bug#458081: apache2: Dies with floating point exception

[Gabor Gombas <gombasg@icedsl.hu>]

Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch3
Severity: important


Hi,

Two days ago apache2 started crashing with this error message:

[Fri Dec 28 13:29:49 2007] [notice] child pid 12318 exit signal Floating point exception (8)

The kernel log also contains:

Dec 28 13:29:49 host kernel: apache2[12318] trap divide error rip:2ae061b2abe1 rsp:7fff4d18a5d0 error:0

There are 3 distinct "rip" values out of ~30 such messages logged so far.
When the crashes started, we were still running 2.2.3-4+etch1. There are
several apache instances running on this machine but only one (that
serves webmail using Horde/Imp) crashes.
