You'll have to save core dumps and analyze them with gdb, since the 
process that segfaulted most likely didn't log the request that caused
the crash. There's documentation here:

http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html

The important first steps are setting CoreDumpDirectory and ulimit -c unlimited.
As soon as you have a core dump, grab a .gdbinit from the appropriate apache
source (or package), install the debug info for apache and modules (in 
redhat-like
Linux distributions debuginfo-install may help), and check the request record. 
You
may want to print r->the_request and dump_table (r->headers_in) to see some info
that may help you reproduce the problem.

Segfaults may indicate a security relevant problem. If you've found that the 
problem is indeed in apache httpd and could exploited remotely, e.g. to crash
the server, you may want to read http://httpd.apache.org/security_report.html 
and
http://www.apache.org/security/
