>Description:
I in fact got a core dump once. starting apache normally without ssl
works fine. Reads all virtual hosts correctly and php works. when started with
mod_ssl after a certain amount of vhosts is reached it either core dumps or
php does not work at all. The one core dump i got was most likely cause i was
using up to much virtual memory and was my fault but the fact that 
apache stops working with php when started with ssl is a big problem that you
should address now before you get to many complaints or hackers running
buffer overflow exploits on that core i got.
>How-To-Repeat:
if you need i can send you an example httpd.conf file so you can 
core dump apache or see that php stops working with ssl after a certain
amount of vhosts is reached
>Fix:
I have not looked at the source for mod_ssl but i would imagine it is a question
of mallocing enough buffer space for very large vhost sites. Which buffer is
the cause is hard to say. Maybe loading mod_ssl into apache's memory space
consumes to much and should be increased.
