5.8.0-RC3 still produces the SEGV with apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.27, Apache::Request 1.0 and MaxRequestPerChild > 0.
My recipe to reproduce the SEGV currently is: Set MaxRequestPerChild to 1 and request a static image. Unless the problem is fixed before 5.8.0 comes out (i.e.~Thursday), I fear we must document the fact: --- perl-5.7.3@17527/pod/perldelta.pod~ Sun Jul 14 02:18:36 2002 +++ perl-5.7.3@17527/pod/perldelta.pod Sun Jul 14 15:34:54 2002 @@ -3133,6 +3133,10 @@ Use mod_perl 1.27 or higher. +=head2 mod_perl 1.27 sometimes produces a segmentation fault + +Setting MaxRequestsPerChild to 0 seems to work around the problem. + =head2 lib/ftmp-security tests warn 'system possibly insecure' Don't panic. Read the 'make test' section of INSTALL instead. Jim, in any case it would be great if you could release a new Apache::Request with the two fixes that Doug has posted to the list[1], so that people need not fall into the two already fixed traps.--Thanks! -- andreas [1] http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/zhoolamgheld and http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/glongsnaysimp
