To narrow down on the problem, it might help to have an strace of what
exactly is happening immediately before the apache process segfaults.
To get one, just attach strace to one of the apache children (use 'ps axf'
to find out which of the apache processes are children, and their PID,
and then pass that PID to 'strace -f -o /tmp/apache.trace -p <PID>' --
you need to run strace under the UID of the webserver or as root, btw),
and then simply reload the webpage until that child segfaults...
In the strace output, look for what's happening before the process gets
the SIGSEGV, somewhere at the end. If what you find doesn't make any
sense to you, you might want to post a sensibly trimmed section of the
strace output here for us to look at...
