Sorry about the last post. This one is definately plain text.
The good news is that I've distilled the problem down
to a one line change in my httpd.conf file.
With the following line, Apache drops a core when
spawn_proc_prog() is called:
PerlTransHandler Apache::OK The above line causes the testcase in
t/apache/subprocess.t to drop a core.
It looks like *r is considerably less populated with
the added line, which means $r->filename is null when
it gets passed to ap_make_dirstr_parent().
I have reported this problem long time ago to httpd-dev. I guess it wasn't resolved: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=103995238000001&r=1&w=2
It would be nice to be able to use this as it gets rid of a _whole bunch_ of calls to stat. I'm trying to wring the last ounce of performance out of the sucker. :)
Meanwhile use a simple transhandler which sets $r->filename to __FILE__ and return OK.
