I am occasionally seeing a seg fault and/or "ap_get_scoreboard_lb(%d) failed
in child" in logs in apache on one particular instance of our software (see
anonymised example below).
This should be on:
apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.7
or similar (I am checking).
This occurs after doing a 'reload' on apache, then trying to use the
a site with a reverse proxy (relevant lines of config appended).
I note this bug:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41729
which does not contain the seg fault, but seems similar. There is apparently
and issue with graceful reload of apache and scoreboard maintenance for the
reverse proxy. Google suggests others are having similar issues.
Any ideas:
1. How to get around this, without doing a stop/start every time rather than
a reload, which is undesirable (we have automated processes triggering
a reload)?
2. How to detect when it has got into this state?
3. Why it might be affecting one particular customer of ours, and not
the rest of the world?
