I've done a fairly standard release of our application last night and 
apache refused to start afterwards. This kept on going even after I rolled 
back the codebase. 
All I got back was Apache's server error page, and the logs showed the 
dreaded: 

*
*

*Premature end of script headers: django.wsgi*

I've gone through the whole debugging process, ruled out the usual suspects 
(expat etc.) and when I run the wsgi application via the python debuger I 
got back the following trace below. The error came from*
 django/core/handlers/wsgi.py(272)__call__()*:

I've got more information in this StackOverflow question: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9158776/django-wsgi-apache-throws-premature-end-of-script-errors-and-none-of-the-usual-s

I've been batting my head agains the wall since midnight last night. No 
sleep till this is sorted.
Any ideas? I can't get why this would segfault apache.

Thanks,
Harel
