I agree!
What was happening to me, was that with "PerlFreshRestart On", I would get a
segmentation fault every time used AutoIndex.pm. I removed the directive
and the problem went away. I have seen other references to memory leaks
and such.
If anyone has suggestions as to why the "PerlFreshRestart On" would
aggervate segment faults, I would like to here them.
