So this change was incorporated in the latest Debian apache-perl package,
and it causes segfaults when used with Mason.
The trigger seems to be the fact that Mason includes this bit of code
which _may_ be called at server startup:
my $c = $r ? $r : Apache->server;
@val = HAS_TABLE_API ? $c->dir_config->get($p) : $c->dir_config($p);
The change in question is this one:

I don't know why it's blowing up.
