Bug#533231: apache2.2-common: Seg fault at graceful restart (log rotation)

[Jeroen Hooyberghs <jeroen@hooyberghs.org>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny2
Severity: important


At each logrotation, the apache proces seg faults and therefor dies

The last message in the /var/log/apache/error.log.1:
[Sun Jun 14 07:41:23 2009] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart

The first and only message in the error.log:
[Sun Jun 14 07:41:23 2009] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent proces

Also when doing a manual graceful restart with apache2ctl graceful, the same thing happens:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
[Mon Jun 15 21:01:40 2009] [warn] pid file /var/run/apache2.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
[Mon Jun 15 21:01:40 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

apache2ctl graceful
[Mon Jun 15 21:02:23 2009] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart
[Mon Jun 15 21:02:23 2009] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process

This problem is occuring at each log rotation, but only notice the problem on 1 debian lenny server I maintain, the other don't seem to have the issue.
