Description of problem:
At a root prompt, I type:
/etc/init.d/httpd start
The script appears to work, and returns me to the command line.  In
/var/log/messages I see a 'sucessful start' message from httpd.  But after about
three seconds the entire machine just locks up so that I have to do a hardware
reset.  I haven't been able to find any errors or messages giving a clue as to
the reason for this.  Even starting the httpd binary directly produces this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.0.40-14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install phoebe
2. # /etc/init.d/httpd start
3. wait a few seconds
    
Actual results:
Total system freeze.  Mouse stops moving, virtual terminals dont work, keyboard
not responsive, does not respond to pings or ssh attempts.  

Expected results:
Sucsessful starting of apache.
