Description of problem:
I haven't been able to isolate the exact circumstance threshold for the error,
but I will attach an SRPM that can reproduce it.  The tarball inside the SRPM is
a binary tree of /usr/local/apache for Apache 1.3.24.  Also attached are a
script output, an strace, and a gdb backtrace.  From the looks of the backtrace,
it has something to do with the nobody:nobody "proxy" directory:

Processing files: reproduce-20020328-1
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
strcmp (p1=0x0, p2=0x8077f98 "nobody") at ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c:38
38
../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c: No such file or directory.
	in ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c

though something else contributes to the segfault, because if I remove
everything except the "proxy" directory, it works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ivh reproduce-20020328-1.src.rpm
2. rpm -ba reproduce.spec


Actual Results:  Last few lines:

Expected Results:  No segfault, build the RPM package.
