An idea : A variable in the same pool memory was written to that is too
big, overwriting data. I encountered this most often using strings that
were not NULL terminated as normal C programs expected. I would
typically place a couple of ap_log_rerror statements, printing the table
entry for headers_out that you are expecting. Once you narrow it down,
take a close look at the code that is used, and you should find your
specific problem. (If you have forced a size value in the conversion
from 32 bit to 64 bit, you may be overwriting a subsequent string that
you are trying to copy in).
