I use an <Action> statement to redirect all my .html reequests to a single script. When I request such a page, the httpd process that handles my requests dies. This shows up in the logs with [notice] child pid 790 exit signal Segmentaion Fault (11) The same work all right with a self-compiled apache on an identical platform. The differences betwee the compiled version an the redhat are that the compiled version has most of the modules already built-in and that the redhat is compiled with a -D EAPI flag
This appears to be fixed in the Raw Hide version, as adding this: Action text/html /cgi-bin/htsearch doesn't even make the server flinch.
