are you both using the default RPM from redhat? IIRC, if you check the
archives, you'll find similar reports for users of the RPM. Generally,
RedHat RPMs use mod_perl as a DSO, and it seems mod_perl's DSO received lots
of DSO upgrading/tuning after 1.21.
I'd suggest rolling your own mod_perl + apache statically from the sources
and see if the problem goes away. At the very least, try to use a static
RPM:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html#Installing_a_single_apache_mod_p
rolling your own is not all that difficult, if you are up to trying:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html
