Ok...
I can't say it helps to know WHAT happends when I don't know how to fix it
;)
Setting PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL to -1 didn't make a diffrence at all.
I've read on this mailinglist that a bug in the MySQL drivers may cause this
error by sending a null-pointer to some function I don't remember the name
of ;)
Hasn't ANYONE been able to fix this ?
I *really* need this working, and fast! It seems many people have this
problem, and it surprises me that nobody knows exactly what goes wrong, and
what to do to get it fixed.
I've also read that this may be a problem between mod_perl and mod_php
(PHP4.0), and PHP doing things with DBI that causes this segfault.
I tried to recompile my Apache without PHP, but the segfault is still
there...
Since it's ONLY DBI->connect that calls this segfault, I can't imagine it
beeing anything else BUT a but in some MySQL-libraries or perl-modules.
I'm getting kind of desperat here, so an answer would be deeply appreciated
:)

Hi *,
I experienced the same problem on a server running Apache 1.3.12 +
mod_perl 1.21 under SuSe Linux 6.4.
As I understand it, this is caused by the perl_destruct() API call, which
in turn calls the DESTROY method plus END blocks in the Perl code.
perl_destruct is executed whenever a child process is exiting, e.g. after
reaching MaxRequests. If the DESTROYS take too long, the child process is
shut down using the KILL signal, thus producing a segmentation fault.
(This is pretty much what I gathered from The Guide, see the URI below.)
Setting PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL to -1 will help you to get rid of those
logfile entries; see
http://perl.apache.org/guide/control.html#Speeding_up_the_Apache_Terminati
for more info.
However, I am wondering if this really is the right thing to do? The
DESTROY and END blocks are there for a reason, so just ignoring them
seems a little rude - and possibly dangerous.
Anyone out there who has further explanations?
Regards,
Michael.
