I'm suffering from the following problem:
When I'm using the request-object in a subroutine without having passed
it to the sub as a parameter, the apache child processes die with a segmentation fault when being reused. If httpd is started with prefork and StartServers 8, the first 8 requests work but the 9th request kills all 8 httpd child processes. (They are being restarted by the main http process after that.) If httpd is started as "httpd -X" (single process), the first request works and the second crashes the server.
An example script that I've be used to reproce the error on two machines running Fedora Core 1 is added below.
I've tried httpd-2.0.47-10 mod_perl-1.99_09-10 perl-5.8.1-92 apr-0.9.4-2 and httpd-2.0.48-4 mod_perl-1.99_11-3 perl-5.8.2-7 apr-0.9.4-2 (from Fedora Development)
Unfortunately I couldn't get a useful stacktrace with those binary (and -debuginfo) rpms.
---------- snipp! ---------- #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $r = shift;
$r->content_type("text/html");
$r->print( "<html>\n"
."<head><title>Testpage</title></head>\n"
."<body>\n" );&printline1($r, "This works");
&printline2("This crashes the httpd process when it is reused");$r->print( "</body>\n"
."</html>\n" );sub printline1 {
my $r = shift;
$r->print($_[0]."<br>\n");
}sub printline2 {
$r->print($_[0]."<br>\n");
}1; ---------- snipp! ----------
Any hints?
