I would recommend trying mod_perl-2.0.8, and if you are able to test
things in a development environment separate from your main production
systems then the SVN trunk would definitely also be worth trying. The
latter contains some significant changes in the area of threading,
which I believe fix a number of possible SEGVs.

Hi,

we use apache2-mpm-prefork, can threading issues still be an explanation 
for this kind of segfaults?
It seems rather complicated to backport version 2.0.8 to wheezy on my 
first try.
