Ralf, FYI: I've seen lots of problems with the Slackware 4.0 DBM
library.  It worked for a while sometime between Slackware 3.6 and
Slackware 4.0 in slackware-current, but Slackware 4.0's library seems to
be broken again.  I had the same problem as Charles... MM works nicely
(and much faster, of course ;> ).  I notice there's already a FAQ on
this (which has a couple of typos, BTW), but maybe the FAQ should
include a list of distros that have been known to have problems.  That
way, a search through the FAQ for, say "Slackware," would turn up the
segfault problem for DBM session caching.  Thoughts?  Would this be too
hard to maintain/keep track of?

You say, you've built with MM, but it looks like you're _running_ with a
DBM-based session cache. And it seems like your DBM database got
corrupted and
this way the DBM library gets crazy. You should upgrade to 2.3.11, use
at
least --enable-rule=SSL_SDBM and even better use the shared memory
session
cache.
