Hi,
I compiled httpd-2.2.11 with "./configure --with-included-apr
--enable-ssl --disable-cgi --disable-cgid --with-mpm=prefork
--enable-status". HTTP requests seem to be processed fine from a users
point of view, but I get many segfaults in my apache log when I
seriously increase the workload. Here a trace from gdb:
Core was generated by `/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) print pollset

When I compiled with mpm-worker, I did not get into these problems.
These are my mpm-prefork settings:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
ServerLimit 512
StartServers 100
MinSpareServers 25
MaxSpareServers 75
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
When I start about 4000 user sessions in a few seconds this happens,
not with lower values. Changing KeepAllive to On/Off does not change
anything.
I was hoping this rings a bell, otherwise I could provide you with
more information on your request, provided someone is kind enough to
pick this up ;)
Thank you,
Andrej
