Public bug reported:

This problem is only seen in 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.7.  There was no crash
under 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6

After connecting to an Oracle database (through Catalyst and
DBIx::Class) in a Perl script using PerlRequire or
PerlPostConfigRequire, apache2 will silently die.  No error messages
show up in the error.log.

If Apache2::ServerUtil::restart_count() is used to only run the database
connection in restart 2 or greater, apache2 will run as normal.
However, if apache2 is restarted using apache2ctl restart, an error
message like this is displayed:

[Fri Dec 02 00:35:09 2011] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error
detected in the parent process


This problem was seen using DBD::Oracle 1.28 and Oracle Instant Client 
11.2.0.1.0.

I tried the same configuration on Ubuntu 11.11 and apache2
2.2.20-1ubuntu1.1, but did not see the crash.

The most urgent problem I am having is that it is difficult to revert to
version 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6 (it is no longer available through apt-get
install apache2=2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6).  I am reluctant to revert back to
2.2.14-5ubuntu8, but I may do that if there is not an easy way to revert
back to a previous security update.
