Hi list,
1. Problem Description:
I'm getting a variety of segfault conditions when I try to use an
output filter in conjunction with a ModPerl::Registry script. This is
highly repeatable; a freshly started httpd will segfault 3 times out
of 4.
If I turn off the output filter, the script runs just fine. If I run
the script under mod_cgi with the output filter enabled, it runs just
fine. Just fine = thousands of requests.
Also, if I use httpd -X, there are no segfaults with both
ModPerl::Registry and the output filter enabled. I have been unable
to get the server to generate a core file so far.
My error log contains entries as follows. These errors seem to occur
for each Apache prefork'd child except the initial process, and they
seem to appear at random, although the segfault errors appear 10-15
times as often as the others:

My output filter uses Template Toolkit, and makes a connection to a
MySQL database, but is otherwise nothing special. It uses a handler
based very closely on the example in the mp2 docs (thanks Stas!).
