Please keep discussion of this issue in that upstream bug report to help
us track this problem efficiently.
Upstream are (obviously) aware of this, but the underlying issues seem
to be with the interaction between Python and Apache rather than being
anything Xapian-specific (there are other Python modules which have
similar issues under mod_python).
So far nobody has suggested a way to resolve this problem, other than
to workaround suggested in bug#185 (which will be documented in the
next release):
Set the option "PythonInterpreter main_interpreter" in the apache
configuration section for all mod_python scripts which use xapian.

That's probably because 0.9.9 didn't handle the GIL correctly -
reverting that change will cause insidious problems so isn't an option.
