Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24

All build from ports. For mod_perl I tried both www/p5-Apache &
www/mod_perl.

FreeBSD-CURRENT of about 6-7 Aug 2000.

>Description:

	mod_perl scripts trying to "use IO;" (probably some other modules too)
cause httpd (child) to segfault.

	This was found while trying to set up HTML::Mason environment. httpd
silently segfaulted, so I started to "use" all modules HTML::Mason
uses from a sample mod_perl script. Eventually IO was found to cause
segfault.

>How-To-Repeat:

	"use IO;" from a mod_perl script. Then watch
/var/log/httpd-errors.log.

>Fix:
	I don't have a fix. But some thougths:
I managed to "repair" some other modules like Data::Dumper and MLDBM
from segfaulting mod_perled httpd by simple rebuilding. But this may
be irrelevant to the problem as far as I DON'T remember whether
previous Data::Dumper and MLDBM were built before perl 5.6.0 hit the
CURRENT tree. But IO is in perl standard dist and therefore is built
during buildworld.
