Apache2::Reload Segmentation Fault

[Vincent Moneymaker]

I am running Apache 2.0.52 on a solaris 8 box with mod_perl-2.0.0-RC5.  I 
previously had problems using Apache::Reload with mod_perl 1.99_19 version 
back in December and gave up trying to find a fix.  I thought I would try 
again with the RC5 version but after having upgraded from mod_perl 1.99_12 
to RC5 I am getting segmentation fault errors when the Apache2::Reload 
module is present in my httpd.conf file and a change is then made in a 
module and the web page that is created via the changed module is then 
called up.  I know that the segmentation fault is related to the 
Apache2::Reload module because the segmentation fault errors don't appear 
when the same change is made in the module (i.e. a simple print statement) 
but without Apache2::Reload being present in the httpd.conf file.

My httpd.conf contains the following with respect to Apache2::Reload
PerlRequire "/opt/prod/apache/programs/startup.pl"
PerlModule Apache2::Reload
PerlInitHandler Apache2::Reload
My startup.pl file starts with the following, with the modules in the 
Apache2 and Melior namespaces being listed after this beginning part

BEGIN {
use lib "/opt/prod/apache";
use lib "/opt/prod/apache/nfs";
use lib "/opt/prod/apache/test-mck/mck-cgi";
use lib "/opt/prod/apache/Apache2";
use lib "/opt/prod/apache/Melior";
use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
 open(LOG, ">>/opt/prod/apache/logs/error_log") or die "Unable to append to 
/opt/prod/apache1/logs/error_log: $! [See the 'startup.pl' program - 1]\n";
 carpout(*LOG);
}

The following is a sample of the segmentation fault errors I am getting when 
Apache2::Reload is listed in the httpd.conf file

[Fri Apr 22 20:59:17 2005] [notice] child pid 22432 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Fri Apr 22 20:59:17 2005] [notice] child pid 22431 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Fri Apr 22 20:59:25 2005] [notice] child pid 22433 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Fri Apr 22 20:59:30 2005] [notice] child pid 22434 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Fri Apr 22 20:59:31 2005] [notice] child pid 22435 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)
[Fri Apr 22 20:59:32 2005] [notice] child pid 22436 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)

And the same things happen when 'PerlSetVar ReloadDebug On' debug mode is 
turned on (below is a sample from the error_log file with the debug mode 
turned on).

[Fri Apr 22 20:09:14 2005] [notice] child pid 21682 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)

Again, the segmentation faults only occur when Apache2::Reload is loaded and 
changes are then made to the modules in the Apache2 namespace.  Any help on 
this would be appreciated.
