Note: In case anyone thinks I posted to the wrong group, I'm really looking for:
  • Developer-level info as to if/how a CGI program could cause an Apache worker process death in 2.2.2
  • Developer-level pointers on where in mod_cgi we should place breakpoints, logging, or the like to try to determine what's going wrong -- or if this even makes sense
Of course if there is some out-of-the-box verbosity option I'm missing to help with this, I'm all ears.  I used LogLevel debug, of course, but it told me nothing new.

With Apache 2.2.2 on Windows, we're getting the following error:

Whenever URLs are requested that execute CGI that was working 100% fine in Apache 2.0.x.

This leads me to ask:
  • How can a CGI program kill an Apache worker process?
  • How can this happen only in Apache 2.2.2, but not in any 2.0.x that we've tried.
The CGI in question is a 3rd-party application for which we have neither source nor official Apache 2.2.2 support.  Yet I would think that CGI should just work irrespective, right?  Or at least it shouldn't kill the Apache worker processes, right?  Could this be an issue in 2.2.2's mod_cgi?

To make matters weirder the issue went away for one developer, but he does not know what he did to make it go away nor can anyone else seem to reproduce this.
