Hi,
I get a crash on Solaris Sparc during startup in the test suite after
the proxy refactoring. Since it is a "Bus error" I wildly guess the root
cause is an alignment issue in the shared memory. Sparc ist sensible to
that and the only other Bus error or httpd I remember was wrong
alignment in shm for mod_ssl shmcb (long ago).
In addition to the fix in slotmem (see previous mail) I suggest
hardening the balancer against future crashes by also aligning the slot
data at 8 byte boundaries (more precisely the APR default alignment):
