Bug#533231: apache2-bin: Also on Jessie and Apache 2.4.10, it crashes on reload

[Torben Dannhauer <torben@dannhauer.info>]

Package: apache2-bin
Version: 2.4.10-5
Followup-For: Bug #533231

Dear Maintainer,

I use Apache 2.4 on Debina JEssie in a XEN domU machine.
Since I'm using Xen and Apache and Xen domUs since 10 years and I never got problems, I don't think it is Xen related (Also nothing on the Xen side has changes recently).

The error is new on my system (my installation is nearly 12 month old),
but some of my recent "aptitude safe-upgrade" or "aptitude install" must have introduced the error.
Until last Week, it workt out perfectly as expected.

Every night during/after/before logrotate, Apache crashes somehow and does not come up fully functional again.
This happens als well if I trigger manually a "/etc/init.d/apache reload" or "/etc/init.d/apache graceful"

The error log shows the following entry:
[core:notice] [pid 4925:tid 140419593967488] AH00060: seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process

Trying to access webpages after that fails, the apache trows the following error for every single query into the log:
[Fri Oct 31 09:23:27.787922 2014] [mpm_event:trace6] [pid 4931:tid 140419123803904] event.c(1500): connections: 1 (clogged: 0 write-completion: 0 keep-alive: 0 lingering: 0 suspended: 0)

Restarting the Apache with "/etc/init.d/apache restart" fails, it has to be started using "/etc/init.d/apache start". After that, also restarting works again.
