Description werner.guenther 1999-05-25 17:04:24 UTC 
Apache core dumps when initializing mod_perl on ultra-10
and ultra-250 machines. Recompiling mod_perl from SRPM
didn't help.

Output from a gdb run of apache with mod_perl enabled:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/sbin/httpd

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x704de558 in my_exit_jump ()

This has been fixed since 6.1, IIRC.
