it's kind of a grey area as to where this problem is living - hence the double post. taking a mod_perl module that uses SVN::Core (e.g. SVN::Web), and either preloading it via PerlLoadModule/PerlModule, or the + notation in PerlResponseHandler will cause apache to segfault somewhere around modperl_perl_call_endav (the perl END block handler). SVN::Core's END block contains apr_terminate(). it seems some sort of desynch is occurring in the teardown after the initial preflight apache configuration phase. i suspect that by the time SVN::Core's END block is executed, the pool has already been freed by mod_perl. my understanding of these inner workings is fairly limited though.
the platform is osx 10.3.6, apache 2.1.0-dev (worker.c), perl 5.8.5, mod_perl 1.99_18, apr and apr-util 1.0.1, and subversion 1.1.1. here's the backtrace. strangely, modperl_perl_call_endav is missing from the stack, but it shows up if you set the breakpoint to it.
