Description of problem: Server crashes during startup when mod_perl loads DBD::mysql. When not loading this DBD, server crashes when mod_status url is invoked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.2-4.80 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile apache 1.3.27 2. Compile mod_perl 1.27 3. Configure a <Perl> section to "use DBI;use DBD::mysql;" 4. Start server Actual results: SIGSEGV! :( (gdb) run -X Starting program: /usr/sbin/httpd -X (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 16384 (LWP 26269)] (no debugging symbols found)...

Expected results: Not crashing would be nice! Additional info:
Can you try ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/errata/8.0/ ? There were a couple of bugs in the errata which will be updated soon.
I retrieved the mentioned files. Upon installing them on a test system, I received the same error with the same basic backtrace as shown previously.
I updated to 2.3.2-4.80.6 and the crashes continue. After pulling out our collective hair for several days, we went back to the distributed glibc, 2.2.93-5 and the segfaults stopped. Something between these two packages causes our apache daemon to segfault somewhat reliably although I can't quite determine where.

(I don't remember what previous rev we had, but my logs don't show any glibc retrieved since 28-Nov-02. Note this is in addition to the faults being seen due to DNS resolution issues.
If you still see this, what does starting the program with LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=/tmp/some-file Attach the content of /tmp/some-file. This will show what symbol is looked up.
No response in a month. If this is a valid problem which still exists reopen.
