modperl segfault with threaded Perl 5.8

[Pavel Hlavnicka]

Hi all,

recently I upgraded to RH 8.0 with threaded Perl 5.8. I compiled Apache 1.3.27 with mod_perl 1.27 from source.

Now if I run Apache is works until I configure some location with mod_perl and PerlHandler like this:

<Location /perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options ExecCGI
allow from all
</Location>

If PerlHandler line is commented out, the server starts fine.

Here is the backtrace of 'httpd -X'

#17 0x0808466c in main ()
#18 0x420158d4 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

Has anyone seen it before?

and... here is what my perl says:

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

Many thanks in advance, and sorry if I overlooked something basic.
