OK, so the problem disappears if you put RewriteLogLevel 0 (no rewrite logging) So this means that the error is either inside mod_rewrite logging or inside apr's apr_vprintf function that crashes. Since its only on 32-bit I presume that either some casting (size_t presumed 4 bytes, etc) is wrong or there is a but inside APR. I'll check both APR and mod_rewrite for changes between our version and confirmed working version (2.2.25) which has different APR version
Please verify the build: http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/jboss-ews-httpd/2.0.1/9.win6/win/jboss-ews-httpd-2.0.1-9.win6.x86_64.zip Seems this was a known bug with APR (ASF's PR 49155) so the patch already existed in the APR's SVN.
there should also be built win6.x86_64 application servers zip file because it inculdes apr dlls
Correct. I'll also rebuild tomcat-native because it has apr as compile time dependency. Cannot tell for sure if the pointer size macros are used anywhere but better be safe then sorry.
Here is the fixed build for application-servers http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/jboss-ews-application-servers/2.0.1/12.win6/win/jboss-ews-application-servers-2.0.1-12.win6.x86_64.zip I also rebuild sources with latest patches added http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/jboss-ews/2.0.1/13.win6/win/jboss-ews-2.0.1-13.win6.src.zip
VERIFIED on Windows 2008 x86_64 and Windows 2008 R2 x86_64 No regression found.
