Hi, the Unix MPMs detach from the console in the pre-config hook but install their signal handlers (including the one for SIG_SEGV) only later, in the mpm hook. If a segfault happens in this time period, the segfault will not be visible on the console, won't be reported to the script starting httpd, and won't be logged in the error log. This can be somewhat confusing to users. I have seen this once with a mod_php bug.
Does anybody remember if there is a reason why the signal handlers are installed that late? Or can the code simply be moved to the pre-config hook, before detaching? Cheers, Stefan
