segfault: perl 5.6.0, apache 1.3.12, mod_perl 1.24 and XML::Parser

[Matthew Darwin]

My apache dies about 30% of the time when handling any mod_perl request
that requires XML::Parser.  Any other page (even pages that use
mod_perl) are 100% ok.

Are there any known issues with this (besides the requirement for
--disable-rule=expat)?  This all worked fine with perl 5.005_03 +
mod_perl 1.23.   I'll get more info if nobody has seen this before.



Mod_perl compiled with:
    perl Makefile.PL PERL_FIXUP=1 PERL_AUTHEN=1 PERL_CHILD_INIT=1 \
         PERL_POST_READ_REQUEST=1 PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=1 \
         PERL_UTIL_API=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1  

Apache compiled with:
    export CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
    ./configure \
        --disable-rule=WANTHSREGEX \
        --disable-rule=expat \

        --disable-module=autoindex \

        --enable-module=status \
        --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
