[...]Basically the test seems to be working (ie. 500 expected and received), but handling the 500 error kills apache (seems to be a simple dereference of a null pointer; probably returned from a call of strerror(500)).
Note that on Solaris strerror(500) returns 0x0. On Linux, it returns "Unknown error 500".
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I made a very quick hack fix to srclib/arp/misc/unix/errorcodes.c:
*************** *** 372,378 **** sprintf(err, "Native Error #%d", statcode); return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, err); #else ! return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, strerror(statcode)); #endif } #endif --- 372,379 ---- sprintf(err, "Native Error #%d", statcode); return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, err); #else ! char *str = strerror(statcode); ! return stuffbuffer(buf, bufsize, str?str:"Unknown error"); #endif } #endif
Which seems to fix it.
So this is a problem with Apache rather than mod_perl?
In fact it's libapr problem. Joe Orton has posted a fix (I've CC'ed you). Thanks for the report and the fix Chris.
