Feeling brave, I decided to build with the threaded MPM and try a log replay. I got a bunch of seg faults very quickly, no dump, and got seg-fault-but-no-dump log messages. ps makes it look like the main thread bailed out before all its worker threads exited. The server then became useless.
I re-built with the worker MPM, and got very similar results. The original cause of the seg faults might be more dir_merge issues. http://java.apache.org/james/dist/ fails fairly consistantly, and all of the recent merge problems we've seen have been for directory URLs. But I'm more concerned that the MPMs aren't recovering from a worker thread seg fault. Greg
