Further information - I don't know if this is of any use. I have definitely narrowed it down to making a HHTP request to /perl/perl-status?hooks or /perl/perl-status?symdump on the newly built httpd. I ran a truss on the process (I'm not really a guru at interpreting the outout, but it sometimes produces useful pointers) , and saw this when requesting one of these URLS :-

After which, the httpd process is still running, but is not accepting any more input - even when making further HTTP requests. I can't make much sense of the above - is the reference to "/home/dougm/lib/perl/mod_perl_hooks.pmc" usual ? It only seems to occur in the two above mentioned calls that crash the server....
